Volos & Pelion
Volos pairs a walkable Gulf waterfront and distinctive tsipouradika culture with Mount Pelion's stone villages, forested slopes and coastlines where mountain and sea continually trade places.

Bon Voyage treats a destination as a connected world: history, neighborhoods, food, nearby escapes and the port or route that brought you here all belong to the same journey.
Pelion's village landscape carries one of Greece's most enduring centaur traditions.
The Greek National Tourism Organisation places Mount Pelion east of Volos between the Aegean Sea and the Pagasetic Gulf, with twenty-four villages set among plane, chestnut and fir trees. In Greek mythology the wise centaur Chiron lived on Pelion and taught figures including Asclepius and Achilles. The region's stone houses, shaded squares, old paths and contrasting mountain and coast make it a substantial destination rather than a single scenic stop.
