Volos

The Verdict
Worth a night or two for the food scene and as a practical base for Pelion; not a sightseeing destination on its own.
Why go
The waterfront tsipouradika serve small plates with every round of tsipouro, a local ritual worth doing for an evening. It's also the jumping-off point for Pelion's villages, chestnut forests, and the Sporades ferries. The city itself is unpretentious and doesn't pretend to be more than a functioning port town.
Understand the place
A working port city on the Pagasetic Gulf, Volos runs on tsipouro and meze culture and functions as the gateway to Pelion's villages and beaches.
