Über Volos

Volos is a modern port city at the foot of Mount Pelion on the Pagasetic Gulf, serving as a gateway to both the Pelion peninsula and the archaeological site of ancient Demetrias. The mythological home of Jason and the Argonauts, Volos is known for its lively tsipouradika (ouzo-style spirit tavernas) along the waterfront and its Archaeological Museum. The Pelion villages with their stone-paved paths and traditional architecture are a short drive away.
