Wikipedia
Pelion or Pelium (Modern , Pílio; Ancient Greek/ Katharevousa: Πήλιον. Pēlion) is a mountain at the southeastern part of Thessaly in central Greece, forming a hook-like peninsula between the Pagasetic Gulf and the Aegean Sea. Its highest summit, Pourianos Stavros, is amsl. The Greek National Road 38 (GR-38) runs through the southern portion of the peninsula and GR-38A runs through the middle.
Pelion, also Pellion or Pelium , was a fortified settlement of the Chaonian tribe of Dexaroi, now located in Gorna Gorica (previously known as Goricë e Madhe) in Albania, on the ancient border between Epirus and Illyria. Pelium later served as a Macedonian border fortress. Sometime in 335 BC, just before the battle of Pelium, it was occupied by Dardanians, led by Cleitus of Dardania, who fought along with Glaucias of Taulanti against Alexander the Great.
