Production The Castaways “sets up” in East Pelion June 15 and completes filming on July 15. It is about the shooting of a new international production, drama television series that is carried out in collaboration with Paramount+ for the BBC.

Occupancies in East Pelion “break records” for a time which is not considered ideal for the hoteliers of the area. The production of the film with 120 people, who have booked hotel units and private apartments and houses, has reached 80% occupancy as the actors do not stay for three or four people. The vast majority have chosen accommodation for two people, closing all the rooms in small units. There are houses that have been closed only by one person. Ai-Yiannis already shows 80% occupancy, while Zagora also shows high occupancy. The series, based on the novel by Lucy Clarke, stars Sheridan Smith and Celine Buckins.

For the three days of the Holy Spirit, all accommodations in land-based Magnesia have opened, together with Airbnb-type apartments exceed 14,000 beds. Hotels in mainland Magnesia register 7,000 beds, but no one is able to register dozens of beds illegally rented – without being declared on any platform – by owners of houses and cottages.

Reservations for the three days of the Holy Spirit have not exceeded 55%, a fact that hoteliers attribute to the instability of the weather.
