Our stop will be at the city centre where will visit
the town’s Cathedral. The Cathedral of St. Nikolaos was
rebuilt the local architect, Aristotle Zachos, an important architect of the
20th century. Our next stop will be another impressive church designed by Aristotle Zachos, the Church of Saint
Constantine. Its location at the port of Volos makes it the perfect place to
get married! Close to Saint Constantine’s Church we will see Panagia Tripa
Church, a unique seaside church built within the hill of Goritsa. Then we will
visit the traditional village of Milies (Apple trees). The mass production of
red and small green apples (Fyrikia) gave its name to the village. It is the
birthplace of three of the most important figures of the Greek Enlightenment Anthimos Gazis, Danil, Philipidis and Grigorios Konstantas. We will visit the Public Library of Milies established
by these scholars and the Church of Taxiarches. The church is dedicated to the Archangels Michael and Gabriel and to all
Saints. It has impressive wall paintings of the Apocalypse and the zodiacs. The
church is a 18th century monument of great historical importance in
which the scholar and clergyman Anthimos Gazis became the leader of an
unsuccessful movement against the Turks.
