The houses in Neohori were built with stones, internally they have wooden ceilings and externally they are covered with slate (stone), the famous Pelion plates. These houses have plate covered courtyards with stones making up the walls. The old three-storied houses in the Ottoman style with wooden balconies and very many small windows, with drawings in the pediments and engraved wooden interior no longer exist thanks to the fury of the retreating conquerors plus the1955 earthquakes that completed the work.
Nevertheless the architecture that followed restored the tradition becoming essentially faithful to the previous design even if it had to change a few details so as to adapt the houses to the landscape and to some of the needs of their new dwellers. The architecture in the region began to show minor changes when the Neohori dwellers returned from their voluntary exile, mainly from Alexandria in Egypt incorporating some Renaissance influence, but without compromising the old style.
Present Neohori then took the architectural form that we can see today. Thus a combination of neo-classical houses and the old style co-exist in such a way as to put the city in a category of its own, which allows one to classify it as one of the most beautiful large village in the Pelion and may be of Greece.
