3Volos – Gateway to Myth and Mountains

Volos, sitting between the sea and Mount Pelion, is a city that comes alive out of season. Autumn and winter bring a cozy feel to its tsipouradika (traditional tavernas), where locals gather for seafood and strong spirits.

Out of season, you can explore Pelion’s stone villages, hiking trails, and ski slopes without the tourist crowds. The city itself is youthful and vibrant year-round, thanks to its large student population.
