Description

Volos: A mythical destination!

Excursion Itinerary

  • We leave at 07:00 in the morning from our city, where we arrive at the enchanting destination of Volos after a brief stop for rest and a cup of coffee. Built at the end of the Pagasetic Gulf and within a breath of the Mount Pelion, it combines all the charm of the sea with the mysterious beauty of the mountain of the Centaurs. Walk along the pedestrianized Argonatōn coastal avenue, where the sea creates a beautiful waterfront with quaint shops, including the famous raki bars, where you can enjoy traditional raki and special seafood meze. Check-in at the hotel and free time.

  • After breakfast, we board the bus with high spirits and cameras in hand to visit the traditional villages of Pelion. Our first destination is Tsagarada. The old cobblestone road (2 km) is worth the walk, alternating with a dirt path starting from the square of the Archangel. First stop at the Kartalio Elementary School, where the humidity and dense vegetation conceal the dilapidated building. Towering plane trees, wild chestnut trees, and beeches hide the sky. Fallen chestnuts and plane leaves, in all shades of yellow and orange, create "earth carpets." Ferns line the path that passes through ravines and small streams, crossing wooden bridges, small weavings, and houses of Pelion. The sound of water will accompany you at every step. Free time for exploration. Your next stop is Portaria, known as "Pyli". As you pass the traditional building of the old Town Hall, the uphill and invigorating sound of the crystal waters will accompany you to the central square. It is covered with plane tree leaves, and the tall plane trees are surrounded by dozens of hydrangeas and camellias in a unique image. Free time to explore and, of course, enjoy our lunch. Our last stop will be the nearby village Makrinitsa, known as the "balcony of Pelion". The old watermills, stone churches, and countless mansions built with the unique and charming Pelion architecture create a charming and harmonious landscape. In the central square, we will find traditional shops loaded with tasty treats and beautiful souvenirs. Free time to explore and, of course, enjoy our coffee or dessert. Return to our hotel and rest.

  • After we have our breakfast and collect our luggage, we board the bus, leave behind the beautiful images we experienced, and head towards Tyrnavos and the traditional custom - Bougani, whose special feature is the worship of the phallus. During the celebrations, plenty of tsipouro is drunk, and then the participants start dancing and teasing each other using deliberately coarse language, as is customary. Various other participants carry large wooden or clay phalli as scepters or oversized phalli that they hold with both hands. In recent decades, there has also been active participation by women. Free time here, and we'll enjoy our lunch in a traditional tavern. Then, late in the afternoon, we head back to our city, filled with beautiful images and emotions.
