Volos

Volos, Greece is a vibrant coastal city in Thessaly, built at the innermost point of the Pagasetic Gulf and set at the foot of Mount Pelion. Known as one of Greece’s most important port cities, Volos combines seaside atmosphere, mountain beauty, Greek mythology, local food culture, and easy access to some of mainland Greece’s most beautiful villages and beaches. The city is closely connected with the legendary story of Jason and the Argonauts, while its waterfront, museums, tsipouro tavernas, nearby Pelion villages, and ferry links to the Sporades islands make it a powerful destination for travelers who want more than a typical Greek island holiday. From the lively Volos port and Argonafton promenade to nearby Makrinitsa, Portaria, Milies, Tsagarada, Zagora, Afissos, and Chorefto, every part of the Volos and Pelion area invites travelers to explore, taste, relax, and discover a more authentic side of Greece. Ideal for couples, families, cruise visitors, road-trippers, food lovers, hikers, beach seekers, and travelers planning day trips to Pelion, Meteora, Skiathos, or Skopelos, Volos is one of the best bases in Greece for combining city life, nature, culture, beaches, and unforgettable local experiences
