Our base is located in:

Volos main port point "Kordoni"

Volos: Built at the innermost point of the Pagasetic Gulf and at the foot of Mount Pilio (Pelion, the land of the Centaurs). The city spreads in the plain on the foothills of Mount Pelion, bordering the town of Agria to the east and Nea Anchialos to the southwest. Volos' municipality includes both towns, along with many nearby villages, including Makrinitsa and Portaria.

Overview

Pelion: The gems of Pelion are hands down its quaint villages! Makrinitsa, Portaria, Milies, and Tsagarada are among the most beautiful villages in Pelion. They are made up of traditional little houses with grey stone roofs and paved alleys that ooze charm in abundance! If you have the time and desire, spend 2 or three days on the traditional village of mountain Pelion.

History: Must see of Volos is the “Argo” ship, safely located in the main port. It is one exact replica of the legendary ship “Argo” propelled by 50 oars-men and sail on which according to Greek mythology, Jason and the Argonauts sailed from Iolcos to the Black Sea to retrieve the Golden Fleece.
Coastline: The whole year through, but especially the summer, the beautiful beaches of Alykes, Tsagkarada, and Mylopotamos are accessible by land.
