Tsagarada is perhaps the most famous village of Pelion which achieves the perfect combination of mountain and sea. Built amphitheatrically on a verdant slope, it offers a unique view of the Aegean Sea and is surrounded by beautiful beaches, coves and inlets. The toponym "Tsagarada" gave rise to many contradictory versions. The simplest version relates to shoes and is based on the fact that the vil
lage was once called "Tsagarades". Another version is based on the etymology of foreign words, mainly Slavic, related to the "nice view".Beautiful mansions, traditional neoclassical and stone-built cobbled streets, flowered courtyards, centuries-old plane trees, and chestnut trees create an ideal landscape. The village is sparsely built and gives the impression of many settlements united by cobbled streets and paths. The beautiful churches on four central squares gave their name to the main districts of Tsagarada. The oldest is that of the Taxiarches, followed by Aghia Paraskevi with the spectacular plane tree of thousands of years and Agios Stefanos, while at the southernmost point lies the district of Agia Kyriaki.
