Location - Hotel Filoxenia

Volos

Built at the innermost point of the Pagasetic Gulf and at the foot of Mount Pilio or Pelion (the land of the Centaurs), Volos is the only outlet towards the sea from Thessaly, the country’s largest agricultural region. With a population of 141.675 (2001) and a prefecture of around 200.000 , It is an important industrial centre, while its port provides a bridge between Europe, the Middle East and Asia. Volos is the third of Greece’s major commercial ports, but also gains significant traffic because of its connections by ferry and hydrofoil to the nearby Sporades Islands, which include Skiathos, Skopelos and Alonissos.

How will you find us
