Volos, Port city in Thessaly, Greece

Located at the foot of Mount Pelion, Volos extends along the Pagasetic Gulf with a waterfront filled with restaurants and commercial establishments.

The modern city emerged from three ancient settlements: Demetrias, founded in 293 BC, Pagasae, and Iolcos, known as the mythological homeland of Jason.

The Archaeological Museum of Volos houses a collection of artifacts from the Neolithic period through the Hellenistic era, representing regional civilizations.

The port of Volos provides regular ferry services to the Sporades islands, including Skiathos, Skopelos, and Alonissos, making it a transportation center.

The University of Thessaly campus in Volos brings together students and researchers, contributing to the advancement of academic studies in central Greece.
