The port of Volos is third largest in Greece, and therefore a frequent stop. From this port, boats of all sizes serve the Sporades islands. The quays are lined with shops and offer a breath-taking view of the sea. Take advantage of the stop to admire the replica of the Argo, or visit the church of Saint Constantine, not far from the port. There are also the monasteries of Meteora, built on rocky peaks. These places are among the main sights for those who really want to know Greece.

Not to be missed:

• Monasteries of Meteora

• Picturesque villages of Portaria & Makrynitsa

• Tasting tsipouro in Volos

• €5 during the period from June, 1 to September, 30

• €3 during the periods from October, 1 to October, 31 and April, 01 to May, 31

• €1 during the period from November, 1 to March, 03
