Centaur path
In our beautiful Pelion is hidden a treasure that could only belong to the imagination… or rather to mythology! The reason for the “Path of the Centaurs”. Yes, those anthropomorphic monsters, the bottom of which was horse and the top human. We all know Chiron as the teacher of every great hero, like Hercules and Achilles. That wise immortal peacemaker to whom mortals sought for divination, astronomy, music, or medicine. However, not many people know their history!
