Volos

Volos

Nestled at the foot of Mount Pelion, 200 miles north of Athens in Thessaly (central Greece), the port city of Volos attracts travelers from around the world for its mythological past, history that stretches back for millennia,  natural beauty and laid back feel. Volos was Jason’s homeland and the port from which the Argonauts sailed off in quest of the golden fleece.

 Volos is a city known for its gastronomic tradition related to tsipouro (an alcoholic drink similar to Italian grappa) served in the city’s more than 300 tsipouradika restaurants and paired with mezedes (generous tapa dishes) of fresh seafood.

Explore

Pelion

 Imagine a green mountain surrounded by the blue Aegean Sea, with dozens of charming villages tucked on its steep slopes, with fruit trees and olive groves that reach down to the beach, and with a cuisine that is based on locally sourced products. This is Pelion!
Summer retreat for the ancient Greek gods, home to the wise centaur Chiron, and the third largest monastic community in Greece, Mount Pelion is a spiritual place ideal to rejuvenate your mind and body.
