HISTORY of the CASTLE
First built in 1791, Glorious Peleys is the epitome of an Outstanding Sample Architecture of 18th century Pelion. Its first owner was a wealthy Greek tradesman from Alexandria, Egypt, who became the commander of Vyzitsa, and helped in the development of the area, which then, during Ottoman rule, attracted bandits and pirates. Thus, in Glorious Peleys Castle you can discover Defensive Architectural details, turret, and underground passage connecting the two main parts of the building complex.
Its latest owners transformed it into a romantic luxury Château – Residence, with a nifty and rich garden, quality rooms with Italian furniture, carpets, sky beds, and artistically painted ceilings and frescoes As a result, this magnificent building can be used as a comfortable and exquisite home, as it was originally used, or easily transformed into a Museum, a Hotel, a Retreat, (or, other).
