Aghios Georgios Nileias is one of the oldest big villages on Pelion, as it was created in the 16th century by people from Epirus and the islands. In the 18th century, Ai – Giorgis was a rich municipality with a developing silk, textile and tanning industry with exportations to big ports in the Mediterranean and the Black Sea, from the docks in Gatzea (in Ai –Giorgis).

A village with beautiful settlements that reach the sea, which is built amphitheatrically in three sides, there is a marvelous view towards the Pagasetic Gulf and it is surrounded by beeches, apple trees, chestnut trees, olive trees and planes. The architectural development of the traditional Pelion houses, in the time, depicts the cultural inheritance of the village. It is about a traditional and hospitable village, quite under populated with big Pelion houses.

Among the picturesque well preserved cobbled roads, all the monuments and the sights, which keep the glory and the timelessness of that era, dominate. Pieces of history that keep alive the tradition of the village and the stylish mansions, the imposing churches, the museums, the stone built fountains with the running water from the wells on the mountain and the stone bridges of rare beauty.

The gastronomic character on Pelion is obvious in every point of the village, as the aromas of the Pelion cuisine come out of the traditional stores in Aghios Georgios.

The cultural events are all over the village, since the inhabitants and the Associations of the villages revive the traditional mores and customs, as well as contribute to the creation of new events.
