Walking and sightseeing at the port of Volos

 The port of Volos day and night

 The port of Volos is the perfect place for a city walking tour! It is full of people strolling up and down, riding a bike or drinking coffee at the popular coffeeshops. So, why don't you begin your visit to Volos from the port?
Based on my experience as a tourist guide in Volos, I would suggest the following walking tour for you...

• Athanasakeion Archeological Museum:There is no better starting point than the museum where you can learn everything about the ancient history and myths of Volos!
• Anavros beach: Exiting the museum, the first thing you notice is the beautiful and closeby Anavros beach
• Agios Konstantinos (Saint Constantine) Church: This magnificent church is the perfect setting for a wedding or a baptism
• Papastratos' tobacco warehouses which house the University of Thessaly: This building may be the landmark of Volos as you will see it in every postcard and guidebook to Volos
• Argo: You should not forget to take a picture of Jason's ship which according to the myth travelled to Colchis
• Pefkakia: From the port of Volos, you get a nice view of Pefkakia (pine trees), the place where Argo was built
• Achilleion cinema theatre and the Bank of Greece: These neoclassical buildings are perhaps two of the oldest and most impressive buildings of Volos
• The fishermen's boats: Take a look at the fishermen selling fresh fish to locals and tsipouradika-owners
• Conservatory and the University library: Another two beautiful neoclassical buildings which used to be banks
• The Church of Transfiguration (Metamorphosi): Your tour may end here, in front of the worth visiting church of Transfiguration

During your walking tour, please don't  forget to make a stop for a coffee break at one of the many coffeeshops of Volos. Of course, when you finish your walking and sightseeing it's time to taste tsipouro and local appetisers!!!
