Tsagarada is the most remote of the main Pelion villages, perched at 408 metres on the eastern slope where the mountains drop sharply toward the Aegean. The village is divided into four distinct hamlets — Agia Paraskevi, Agios Stefanos, Agios Taxiarchis, and Agia Kyriaki — each with its own square and church, spread across a hillside thick with chestnut trees. Getting between them requires a walk or a short drive along narrow lanes.
The centrepiece is the enormous plane tree in the Agia Paraskevi square, reputedly one of the oldest in Greece at around a thousand years. Beyond the tree and the church, the village offers what most people come to Pelion for: stone-paved paths through forest, traditional architecture without tour groups, and a general atmosphere of having arrived somewhere genuinely off the beaten track. The beaches of Mylopotamos and Fakistra are about 3 kilometres downhill.
