Volos Metropolitan Area

Volos is the capital of the prefecture of Magnesia. The city is built in the center of the Pagasitic Gulf and the foot of mount Pilio (Pelion.) Its unique geographic location offers the visitor a majestic view and a pleasant climate. Volos has approximately 170,000 inhabitants and is the prefecture’s administrative center. It is the legendary city-state of Iolkos, capital of Mycanaeic Thessaly, where the famous mythological Argonautic expedition began, with Jason and the Argonauts and his ship named “Argo” (which today is the emblem of the port of Volos).
