The Archaeological Museum of Volos pleasantly surprised us. It offers a fascinating collection of tools, jewelry, and everyday objects, dating back as far as 5000 BC. It was truly exciting to see in real life what I used to read about in school textbooks. All the information is provided in both Greek and English, which makes the experience accessible and engaging. We arrived on a Saturday around 11 a.m. and were the only visitors for a while, which gave us the chance to explore everything at our own pace. After about 40 minutes, a school group arrived, which brought a different energy — it was nice to see kids learning about their history. Highly recommended for a calm, meaningful visit!

Nice little museum a bit out of the city centre of Volos. They have three different exhibitions: one detailing the palaeolithic and neolithic findings from Thessaly, one detailing burial customs and steles from ancient Demetrias, and one detailing the history of Volos. They have most signs in English, at least the ones describing the artifacts, but the informational signs in the Volos exhibition are only in Greek. Overall, the museum can be visited in less than an hour, especially in the morning when there are fewer visitors.

Wasn’t expecting the extend of the exhibits. Great pottery collections. Need less than an hour. Building has been maintained inside and outside (garden needs some tlc), aircondition was working so was nice and cool inside. Paid EUR 10 entrance. Seems like entrance increased based on previous Google reviews.

Anyone who loves Greek history and has the opportunity to visit this place is a must visit. There is a lot to see about the history not only of this place but also of the whole of Greece. My recommendation for this historical museum.

Nice little museum. Entrance is 10€. Easy to visit in an hour if you have some time to spare in Volos. Pity that most of the larger informational signs are only in Greek.

I have very mixed feelings about this museum. On the one hand the exhibits are very good with interesting history and artifacts. There is a good amount of information available. It's a small museum but well put together. On the other hand, a lot of the information is only available in Greek. You can download a doc but it only gives an overview of the different exhibitions and a floor plan of the museum, nothing about individual objects. Having said that, I'm not sure that it's fair that non-Greek speakers must pay the same price or even more, and also at 10 Euro (29 Aug 2025), I feel they can really put in a little effort to also have everything in English too. There's supposedly some audio available that you can listen to for some things. But I asked the lady at reception and she said it's not working. Her English was very bad, so she might also have meant it's not available in English. So definitely make sure you take your phone with you and have an internet connection available so you can use Google Translate or a similar app to translate the various exhibit plaques.

The museum contains collections of Greek art. Neolithic objects, ceramics, jewelry etc...

A great place for walking along the ships and admiring sunsets from tavernas across the street. The city of Volos is quite nice, with local wonderful shops, churches, restaurants. The difficult part is to find a parking place out of the burning sun.

Very nice place next to center of the city. You can have a walk or going with your bike. Crowdy especially in summer where you can travel to the islands of Skiathos, Skopelos and Alonissos. Full of yachts as you can see in photos.

no shadow at all for the waiting people. The seajets kiosk is right at the end of the dock: you must reach the end of it to see it! No clear indications

This place was incredible, and really fun to hang around. It has a beautiful view where u can also explore a lot of things. I'd definitely recommend it. 10/10🤩

great volos, full of life, helpful, kind, tolerant and warm people. The prices are reasonable and fun to travel, buy and enjoy the beautiful environment that welcomes you with great hospitality

The Port is a typical Industrial Port and the City is not nice. We have spend only around two hours ashore and went than again to our Cruise Ship...

Very nice... Cozy and neat! Be aware when a ship is coming or going there is a lot of traffic. Do park in designated parking areas, the fine is high... But the view is superb.

Nice park to walk or just sit and look out over the water.

A relatively beautiful park next to the sea and just a few minutes away from the city center. In the area you can find some art pieces scattered around the area. There is also a representation of a Neolithic settlement that you consider an extension of the adjacent Museum. Finally, the view towards the sea and towards the neighboring areas in Volos is quite impressive. Unfortunately, there is a lot of garbage, dirt in general, but also poorly written slogans and graffiti that give a general feeling of dirtiness. Although it could be one of the 'jewel' spots of Volos, the Municipality and the visitors still have a lot of work to do in this direction, mainly in terms of cleanliness but also the general architecture of the area (better use of greenery and more, better facilities for visitors).

Very nice side of Volos. Seaside and public beaches.

Had a nice walk around enjoying the lovely weather and sea views.

Nothing much but fine.

Nice view!

Peaceful place....😎👽

(Translated by Google) Very interesting! (Original) Πολύ ενδιαφέρον!

2-3 connected sand beaches, right in Volos; clean water and you can even see fish on and around the rocks of the peer (if snorkelling). All beaches have a changing booth as well as showers. On the middle one there’s even a special construction so that people in wheelchairs can enter the water! Found this super considerate and it’s the first place I’ve ever seen smth like this! In some areas in the back you can get a bit of shade by sheltering under the olive trees; Lots of terraces just on the beach, as well as a big parking.

A sandy small bea h offering few sunbeds and umbrellas if you buy something from the bar. I recommend it only if you wake up late.

Closest beach to Volos city centre. Not bad but not going to win best beach in Greece, but thats okay - water is a little merky. Would recommend for a quick stop. They have free umbrellas, showers, taps to clean feet and changing rooms (all free). Beach bar close by as well.

Nice beach area with very calm water for swimming.

It's a Blue Flag Beach which means it should be better managed but other than having life guard and the beach being sandy, there's not much going on.The waves are strong and the water is not so clean.

Amazing place !

I visited this beach in August 2023. That time of the year, water was very warm. As a person who likes cool/cold water for swimming, this beach wasn't satifying for me. Good thing about this is beach is that ehere are showers and shade under the trees.

We had 2 recommendations for here by locals, so I was bummed it was such a disappointment. For the area, it is EXPENSIVE and the portions are small. The flavour is what really matters though. Grilled octopus over grilled (read burnt) and over salted. Prawns tasted burnt and were very hard to peel which means they are not that fresh in the cooking world. Not worth the hassle or price. The dish we liked was the fried calamari- but for the price vs. the portion size, go somewhere else. Bread they served is a creative idea but dry. The location feels vibey and the staff were nice, but this place is overhyped. Also, wax paper is NOT NAPKINS.

Amazing dishes, everything we had was 10/10. Service is a bit all over the place but these guys are super busy, completely understandable. A must go. The crab looked amazing but not the easiest to eat.

A great place to experience Greek traditions in a modern setting. The friendly staff will recommend what to order if you are here for the first time. Very tasty food and interesting presentation.

We visited this restaurant with a group of six after seeing several positive recommendations online. The place is fairly small, though there are some additional tables outside. Overall, the food was delicious, though I found that certain portions—like the tuna—were on the smaller side. Unfortunately, the service left much to be desired. Even after we stacked our empty plates to make things easier for the staff, the waiters simply walked by multiple times without clearing them, despite the restaurant not being particularly busy at the time. Since we had ordered eight dishes in total, the lack of space became an issue. At one point, my uncle even had to fetch clean plates himself. In summary, the food is great, but the service was disappointing—I’d give it a 6 out of 10. Regardless of this, i still decided to give you a 4-star hoping the service will be better for future clients.

Delicious twist on classic greek dishes. What a fantastic little Tsipouro of Volos. We shared five small plates, one better than the next with the taste of squid wrapped im lamb and grilled. Or tabouleh salad with shrimp bacon. A find down a quiet alley off the church square.

Maybe the best tsipouradiko in Volos. All the plates for tsipouro are really tasteful. The place is small and doesn’t accept reservations. Its better to go there during weekdays instead of the weekend. Prices are a bit higher than the rest of tsipouradika in Volos buy it worths the visit. Totally recommend!

Nice place for meze which are prepared in a bit modern way. The squid, the fried manti and the potatoes with cheese were superb, keftedes had a good taste but were a bit dry. That was the only flaw though.

My favorite Tsipouradiko, everyone has one here in Volos of course there are too many to be honest to have just one favourite but I am in love with shellfish and if you reading this and also like em clammy friends you should definitely try and visit this since it's probably the only one you can get such a collection served as mezedes, gonna write it in Greek cause I can't Google all them names in English, you can find depending on the time of year any or all of the bellow, mydia, kalognomes, fouskes, kydonia, gialisteres, streidia, axinous, streidoxtena and more! Also a very large collection of bottled tsipoura available here but I usually get the bulk variety which is rly good. Enjoy!

Traditional cusine. Good prices and tasy food. A restaurant for locals not for turists.

Tsipouradiko with very inviting owner (served us tsipouro on the house while we were waiting), good service, fresh seafood, many options for raw seafood, excellent scallops (xtenia) and mostly fried meze. Equally good to Giwtas and Giannas tsipouradiko in central Volos but also open on Sundays.

If you visit Volos, this place is a “must visit “ The food is fresh and delicious. Impressed by the freshness of the sea food, and the high quality!

I am a foody and travel around the world. This is simply one of the best experiences I ever had. Can't recommend this more.

Not nice environment but excellent ouzo meze, food for ouzo. Here ionia, volos when you orderr ouzo they come with different food fir each little ouzo you order.

Amazing seafood and appetizers. They have two kinds of Ouzo and you will get a variety of accompanying tasting plates to go with that. I was honestly full before the main course came. Very friendly people and amazing delicious food! I will be back as often as I can.

The pizza was amazing!! The pasta options on the menu, most of them had cream. Which is crazy weird for an Italian restaurant. So, an Italian restaurant with non Italian pasta. And the staff looked like they were forced to be there. Not a smile. Angry looking people.

Average taste food, a bit pricy, not so clean environment

One of the best pizza in Volos))) but pasta even tastier!!!

Positive side - The salads were very fresh and well done. Its a nice place with a good vibe. Negative side - dont sit on the benches if you are not 16 years old.... For a long dinner, it will just "kill" your back... The spaghetti was too salty for most of us and the pizza was good but not more than that.

Fantastic Italian restaurant! My favourite kind of pizza with super thin dough. Also I would say that all of the ingredients taste authentic Italian. The pizzas are really big - impossible to eat whole one 🫶

The pizza was excellent. The crust is very thin, just the way we like it. And the pasta dishes we had were also great. And the prices are very fair. An excellent choice in Volos

Amazing pizza and pasta dishes, very authentic. Vibe is also classic Italian set in a cozy garden with friendly homely service

Thought I would try this place whilst waiting for the ferry to skiathos - small, local seafood dishes all extremely tasty and with the local tsiporou - fixed menu at a great price. Friendly service and easy to engage with other diners.

The real deal tsipouradiko! Every time you fill upp your tsipouro, new food pop up 🥳

A great local spot! Came as a hungry family of 7, almost at closing time but were greeted with a warm smile, great chipuro and a non ending stream of delicious local plates of veggies, seafood, sausages, garlic paste. Ending up with a very small tab. Highly recommended!!

It was hard to review this because it depends what you are looking for. Probably one of the most authentic places, busy, noisy, people smoking indoors are just some aspects but food comes good and aplenty with the drinks you order (and they refill). Mostly for seafood lovers and anyone in search of something out of the ordinary - not great for veggie/vegan options but there are a couple of bits.

The true Volos experience, small plates keep coming till you leave the place, great people and a guy filling you up with tsipouro. No parking at the spot, but in a walking distance. Prices very reasonable, definitely recommended.

traditional maze with alcohol place. Not the tourist restaurent.food cheap and ok quality,but the air quality it's poor. we pay 20 euro for 8-9 plates and 5 glass drinks. no complaint.

All time classic. If your get the chance to find table ..... don't miss it

Seafood restaurant worth visiting when in Volos. Offers one of the coolest spots in the summer with an extended variety of local dishes. And all that along with reasonable prices. Give it a try. Won't regret it.

One of the best in Volos! I totally recommend it and we will visit it again as soon as possible! Very traditional atmosphere and nice place in the trees!

Hopfully it was a mistace of one time... cold, pre grilled fish and srimps for meze. Very good location under the trees.

Great 'Mèze' lovely and cool under the trees. Good service. Very conveniently located.

Offers only sealed Tsipouro and Ouzo (spirits). When in Volos, this place is a must. Tasty side dishes.

Worse tsipiuradiko I have been ! The quality was terrible and the food was not fresh ! Got a stomach pain both me and my husband ! The service was bad not friendly and super tired and bored to work . It was a shame

Delicious food with hearty portions and a great service. Our lunch also came with free desert
