Volos – Pelion

Volos was once ancient Iolkos, the city of the Argonauts. A welcoming and charming city at the foot of Mt Pelion, it embraces the Pagasitic Gulf. Its culinary traditions will be the star of the show, especially the flavours in the Tsipouradika, the restaurants serving the local firewater and meze. Old-fashioned neighbourhoods are juxtaposed against the youthful energy of students enjoying the pastry shops and cafes or just strolling around. The industrial buildings, museums, shops and exhibition spaces all add to the atmosphere, but the standout attraction is the waterfront.
