To Thalassaki Boutique Hotel is a small beachfront property in Agios Ioannis village on the East Pelion coast of Magnesia, Thessaly, Greece. The hotel sits directly above the Aegean Sea in Mouresi municipality, approximately 55 km northeast of Volos via the Pelion mountain road. Agios Ioannis is one of the most established beach communities on the Pelion peninsula, with a long sand-and-pebble beach backed by a small cluster of tavernas, cafés, and accommodation properties. The hotel's boutique character sets it apart from the standard rooms-to-let operations typical of smaller Pelion beach settlements; the interior design draws on a minimal-Mediterranean aesthetic with locally sourced materials and sea-inspired color palettes. Sea-view rooms look directly over the Aegean, catching the morning light and the prevailing summer winds that keep the coast cooler than inland Thessaly. Superior suites provide expanded living space with the hotel's best sea views, while family suites accommodate adults and children in a single unit. Daily breakfast is included in the room rate, featuring local Pelion products such as honey, mountain cheeses, and yoghurt alongside standard continental items. The terrace, positioned above the beach, provides an outdoor dining and relaxation space that serves as the hotel's social center in summer. To Thalassaki suits couples and families who prefer an intimate boutique experience over a large resort setting, with direct beach access and an environment defined by clear Aegean water and Pelion forest.

Tips for visiting
- The beach at Agios Ioannis fills significantly in August; July or early September offers a similar experience with fewer crowds.
- Book sea-view rooms well in advance for summer stays (June–August) as these fill quickly and upgrades at check-in are unlikely during peak season.
- Agios Ioannis has several tavernas within walking distance of the hotel; fresh grilled fish at waterfront restaurants is the dominant local culinary offer.
- The drive from Volos via the Pelion road takes 75–90 minutes; arrive with a full tank of fuel as petrol stations are sparse beyond Zagora on the East Pelion road.
- Nearby beaches including Fakistra (7 km south) and Papa Nero (4 km north) offer alternative swimming spots accessible by car for guests based at the hotel.
