Volos is one of the largest and most beautiful Greek cities, located at the centre of the country, with a port that is among the busiest in Greece. The long seafront is lined with traditional cafés and restaurants and among them you will find the local eateries called tsipouradika, where you will try the traditional tsipouro (a local strong spirit) and a variety of tasty seafood and fish dishes. The pedestrianised seaside Argonauts Way and the passenger port terminal, located on its west end, offer amazing views to the open sea and they are the most popular rendezvous spots for both locals and visitors. Iasonos, Dimitriados and Ermou Streets and the streets that cross them (many of which are pedestrianised) are the busiest part of the city centre, where most of the commercial activities and nightlife take place, with the students of the University of Thessaly being among the most vivacious contributors to the city’s prosperity.
