the derivation of the word Volos, which according to
a Byzantine historian of the 14th century was called
"Golos", there are several theories; the most widely
accepted is that it represents a corruption of the
Mycenaean Iolkos. Founded in the mid 19th century,
modern Volos, with 71,000 inhabitants, is a cheerful
, lively town, soundly laid out with pleasant broad
streets. The waterfront is an ideal spot for a
stroll. A modern coastal avenue bustling with life,
it is lined with pastry shops, cafes and
restaurants. From the suburb of Ano Volos, built
upon the slopes of Pelion, the Pagasitic gulf and
the town below take on another dimension. Volos
harbour is particularly active. It is the main
export centre of Thessaly and the scene of much
commercial and passenger traffic bound for the
Sporades, the great ports of the Mediterranean,
Syria, and other Middle Eastern cities. 
are
considered among the most important examples of
ancient Greek art. Municipal Gallery (tel.:(0421)
25.760): Housed in the Town Hall, it comprises a
fine collection of paintings, sculpture, and
engravings by modern Greek artists. Home of the folk
historian Kitsos Makris (tel:(0421) 23.778) with
works by Theophilos, Christopoulos, Byzantine icons,
wood carvings and pottery. Pelion's old fashioned
train: This little train which used to connect Volos
with Milies has been put back into service over a
short portion of the old urban line. It would be
running on special occasions. The churches of Agios
Konstantinos, Agios Nikolaos, Metamorphosis and the
chapel of Agia Triada. At Anakasia, the Theophilos
Museum with frescoes by the great folk artist. At
Alli Meria, the Velentza bakery with wall paintings
by Theophilos. 
resorts bordering beautiful beaches abound in
picturesque tavernas offering local delicacies. The
azure sea is ideal for bathing. 
theatre with incomparable acoustics. Portions of the
city's circuit wall can be seen on a hill to the
right of the road. The famous grave stelai adorning
the Archaeological Museum in Volos were discovered
in the towers still standing on the acropolis. A
little to the east, at Pefkakia, are the scant
remains of a Mycenaean settlement identified as the
Homeric city of Neleia. The road then passes by Nees
Pagases (5 km), today a summer resort with good
facilities for tourists built on the site of ancient
Pagasai, an eminent commercial centre of the 5th
century BC, and port of ancient Pherai. Maratho (13
km) and Chrysi Akti (15 km) further south are
renowned for their crystalline waters and the fresh
fish served in their tavernas. The main road
continues along the shore, passing Nea Anhialo (18
km), a pleasant market town built in a fertile
region in a position formerly occupied by Ancient
Pyrrasos, which together with the neighbouring city
of Phthiotic Thebes was the most important
commercial centre on the Pagasitic gulf. Its little
museum contains neolithic and early Christian finds.
Continuing on you come to Mikrothives (25 km) which
took its name from Pthiotic Thebes. There are ruins
of the old city - walls, temple, theatre and a stoa
- on the nearby hill. At Almiros (35 km), the centre
for animal husbandry and farming in the area, you
can visit the Archaelogical Museum, while the Kouri
park, the ruins of Ancient Alos and the monastery of
the Panagia Xenia at Orthris are other sites in the
vicinity worth investigating. The seaside village of
Amaliapolis (57 km) near Cape Almiros is a very
popular holiday spot. One of the largest villages in
the Almiros area is Sourpi, surrounded by bountiful
olive groves. Its taverns serve delicious kokoretsi,
a treat made of liver and lights, spit-roasted on
glowing coals. As you proceed along the coast road,
which cuts through the
southern
section of Magnesia past extraordinarily picturesque
scenery, it is worth stopping at Pteleos (60 km), a
historic village with more olive groves, and at its
port, Pigadi, a quiet fishing hamlet with sparkling
waters and an abundance of fresh fish; at Ahilio (67
km) , an idyllic bay with a long beach, and an ideal
sanctuary from the August heat; and Agios Dimitrios,
a village on the Malliac gulf bordered by golden
beaches. Finally the village of Kanalia (26 km)
surrounded by almond trees is well worth a visit.
Every March there is an almond bossom festival. Here
also there is a thriving bronze handicraft industry
