Kala Nera Guide
If you are looking for a tranquil and sincere village far from the crowded shores of the Aegean, Kala Nera is waiting for you. Noiseless, unpretentious, but just as impressive. This small coastal town at the foot of Mount Pelion in the Thessaly region is as good for the soul as its name means "good waters". There are no big hotels or crowds of tourists, just roads shaded by olive trees, a clear sea and a life that allows you to slow down. Kala Nera is a place waiting to be noticed, not discovered.
