Volos, Sporades

Volos sits at the foot of Mount Pelion, where mythology and modern life meet. Known as the home port of the Argonauts, the city has long been tied to the sea and stories of adventure. Today, it combines neoclassical streets, waterfront cafés, and a modern marina, offering all the facilities sailors need for provisioning and preparation.

Its strategic location provides access to two distinct sailing areas. The nearby Sporades islands offer sheltered anchorages and varied coastal passages, while the Pelion peninsula presents forested slopes, traditional villages, and short day sails to scenic bays. Predictable seasonal winds, a position outside the Meltemi corridor, and channels like Trikeri make Volos ideal for both novice sailors seeking calm waters and experienced crews looking for open-water passages.
