Almyros Pelion

Almyros is the second biggest city in Magnesia and is 35km from Volos. It is a very fertile place, with wheat and tobacco plants.

You must visit the ruins of the ancient city Alou, the archaeological museum and the public library.

At the village of Kouri, 2km from the city, you can enjoy the peaceful forest, with giant oak trees and maybe if you are lucky enough, see the deers and roebucks.

By taking the "little train" you can enjoy the ride through a surrounding of little lakes and small bridges.

Kokkotos, which is 27km from Almyros, is a very interesting village. It is situated at an altitude of 800m. You can visit the monastery of Panagia Xenia by driving through the magnificent route near the slopes of the mountain of Othris.

The village Vrinena is 40km from Almyros, and is at an altitude of 580m. Here you must try the delicious barbeques at the local tavernas.
