Volos, Greece

Summer retreat of ancient gods, Mt Pelion now provides a beautiful backdrop for Volos, with its waterfront promenade, lively bars and Archaeological Museum. Crystal waters wash beautiful sandy beaches, while the best way to admire the villages that cling to wooded slopes is aboard the Pelion steam train, crossing bridges and olive groves to reveal magical views.
