Where the Argonauts set sail for Colchis
Nestled at the northern end of the Pagasitikos Gulf, Volos is a vibrant city where Greek mythology and modern life intertwine. As you step ashore, the bustling waterfront welcomes you with a lively atmosphere, framed by the towering peaks of Mount Pelion in the distance. This is a place where ancient legends come alive—it’s said that Jason and the Argonauts set sail from this very port in search of the Golden Fleece. The city’s charm lies in its blend of history and contemporary energy, with neoclassical buildings lining the harbour and the scent of fresh seafood drifting from tavernas along the promenade.
