Option 1: Car rental allows you to have the freedom to move around. The roads in Greece are generally of good quality - speaking from a perspective of an inexperienced driver who has managed to navigate the Greek mountains :) Both Thessaloniki and Athens airports offer a wide range of car rental companies. Each villa at Pelion has its own parking spot.
Option 2: Flying to Volos and getting a taxi from there. From Brussels Charleroi, Ryanair flies to Volos twice a week, but the schedule now is only available till the end of October. There are buses from the airport into Volos city centre. Getting a taxi from the Volos City Centre should be around 30 EUR. Volos Airport to Pelion Homes is around €85 with a four seater taxi.

In Athens, the train departs from the Larissa Station (Athens Central Railway Station), located in Kolonos and easily accessible via Metro Line 2 (Red Line, connected to the airport line). The cost of a taxi to Pelion Homes from Larissa train station is 100 EUR. The train schedule will be announced on the Hellenic Trains website.
Option 4: Pelion Homes can help arrange a taxi to pick you up from Thessaloniki or Athens, or you can do it directly through the service like Volos Taxis, GetTransfers.com or similar.
