/South Pelion/
A green sea descends gently on the curving slopes of the mountain, gently embracing the arrogant blue of the Pagasitic Gulf and the foamy beaches of the Aegean Sea. Silver olive groves, centuries-old plane trees, all kinds of citrus fruit loaded with fruit, hundreds of healing herbs and enormous blossoms of camellias, gardens and hydrangeas create a unique setting. Cobbled paths and shady paths combine the charming tiles of nature and lead us to beautiful mountain villages, picturesque seaside settlements, monasteries dating back to the late Byzantine years, gorges and sprawling beaches with turquoise waters. The hospitable inhabitants cordially welcome us in the paved squares; the body stands in the shade of the platanes; the soul is cooled in the fountains with crystal water.
Afissos is a well-known seaside resort and is located 26km away. from the city of Volos via the coastal road.
From the main road you will find the junction that leads to Afissos and without a second thought, it is worth doing 2.5km extra course and to visit it, of course if your final destination is not for there.
Afissos, like other villages in Pelion, is fortunate not to be on the main road. It is built amphitheatrically above the beach, amidst olive groves and is an ideal place for relaxation and relaxation. The tourist infrastructure is very well developed and by choosing Afissos for your vacation, you can be sure that you will not miss anything. Shortly before entering the village, the road approaches Kallifteris beach, a wonderful beach, ideal for swimming, without the slightest building clues around. Some argued that this was the ancient city of Afetes, where, according to myth, the Argonauts were supplied with water there.
The truth is that in the center of the settlement just in the square, there is a source that gives life to the village and quenches visitors. At first glance Afissos reminds of an island. Its beaches (Kallifteris and Apalos) as well as the white houses contribute strongly to this. In August, the settlement is flooded with people, and many residents of Volos choose Afissos for a one-day trip, and not just an excursion. During the summer period, Cultural Events under the name "Argonauts" are organized in honor of Jason and the Argonauts, with theatrical performances and concerts.

The most beautiful, perhaps mountainous village of the area with a privileged view of the Pagasitic Gulf, spreads its stone quarters in the "brow" of the mountain. Stay in the paved square with the tremendous plane trees and cypresses; visit the three-aisled basilica dedicated to the Birth of the Virgin, the Fabio Museum and the small Radio Museum housed in the old Primary School.
