First snow falls on Mount Pelion in Greece right before Christmas

The first snow started falling on Mount Pelion, one of the most beautiful regions in Greece, with lush oak, chestnut and beech forests, that attracts tourists throughout the year, ANA reported.

The village of Chania located on the peak was slowly covered along with the adjacent ski center of “Agriolefkes”, just seven days before Christmas.

The snow depth is currently five centimeters at Chania and over 10cm at the ski slopes, but they are not open yet for skiers. The roads around the mountain are open and the regional authority of Thessaly said they sent two snow plough vehicles to remain on standby.

Temperature fell abruptly in the region in the past few days and is currently at 2C.
