Mila Zagoras Piliou

(Μήλα Ζαγοράς Πηλίου, Zagora Pilios apples)

Mila Zagoras Piliou are apples obtained from the Starking Delicious variety in Zagora, Makrirahi and Pouriou on the eastern side of Pilios. The systematic cultivation of these apples started in the 1960s under the supervision of the Zagora Agricultural Cooperative.


They owe their distinctive characteristics to high altitudes where they are grown, special weather conditions and the use of traditional cultivation techniques. Mila Zagoras Piliou are harvested by hand after their ripeness is checked. Following the quality assessment, they are packed and stored in the cooperative's modern installations.


They can be recognized by their vivid red color and a smooth, waxy skin. Their flesh is white to yellow, very juicy and full of flavor.
