I will visit Pilion for a walking holiday and have my room at Kala nera.
Do i need my own transportation or can i go and return easily by bus??
For example to Chania or Damouchari.Maybe here is somebody who did the same and can tell his experiences. maria

im from ireland and am just wondering is there any irish bars located on the island to watch the leinster final on the 20th???

we are staying in Pelion in Aug 08 and need a cot for a 12 month old baby. Where can we get one ? We arrive in Volos on Saturday 9th August at about 6pm Thanks

Where can we hire a cot in August 08 ? We are staying near Kalamos and lefekastro .

I understand that there are 4 buses daily that run between Patras and Volos; can anyone tell me what time they depart and arrive (in both directions)?
I am travelling to Skopelos via Italy next month (August) and have one day set aside to travel between the ports of Patras and Volos.
Also, if anyone can tell me how much the bus fare is that would be great, too. Any advice would be much appreciated, particularly as the sites I have found with this kind of information are in Greek only.

has anyone stayed at the kostas and mary hotel in skiathos town staying b&b what facilities are in the rooms do they have a kettle or a fridge so we have somewhere to store our provisions for the week we are going in may what is the weather like then? any piccys ? cheers john and jessica

I will be staying in Volos with a group for about a week and want to go to Dimini, Sesklo, and Makrinitsa using public transportation. We will be there in March. Is it possible to do this? How much would it cost per person (all adults) and how often might the buses run?

Now booked up for 2 weeks in early July to Skopelos and looking at the possibility of a night on Alonissos. We will be hiring a jeep for a few days to reach those small rocky coves and a boat for a day to reach those with no road access. Before I start contacting companies though, does anyone have any preferences as to hire companies for both the jeep and the boat?
Also I see there are a few boat trips from Skopelos for the day......any in particular that anyone would recommend?
I'd be very interested in an around the island boat trip to help me decide what area I'd need to hire my own boat from as to which bays I need to see. The same applies to Alonissos and any trips to the deserted Islands in the marine park.
When I hire a boat on Skopelos do they allow you to go across to Agh Georgios Isl and Mikro Isl and would combining these with the coastline around Cape Kiourto and southwards then back along to Skopelos town be a possible day trip or would it be a little too much?

Thanks for any help. Greatly appreciated

Hi there,
I am going to be studying in Volos for two weeks in September and the accommodation is in Alykes. Does any one know how much the bus and taxi is from Volos to Alykes? I am trying to work out how much I will need to spend on transport to Volos and back each day.

Many thanks,

Evalyn

Hi,
I'm a bit confused as to how to get to Volos, as I've never been to Greece before. I'm taking a ferry from Italy into Patras... my questions are:

1. Do I have to get to Athens first in order to get to Volos? I was planning on taking the train from Athens to Volos.

2. In the alternative, is there a bus from Patras to Volos?

3. Is there a direct train route from Athens to Volos? How long should I calculate for the ride?

THANK YOU SO MUCH for any information. Gracias!!

Hello,

Can someone please tell me what is the best way to get to Volos from Thessaloniki? I checked out the Aegean Airlines and didn't see Volos as one of the options for destination. Is there a plane or train going there?

Thanks in advance!

staying in Volos on the 22 May, firstly due imcompetent EUFA we are short of tickets for the match. Can anyone help ? Secondly where is teh best place to eat & drink reasonably cheaply.

Thanks.

If we take the 10:51 train from Athens to Larissa that arrives in Volos at 14:28, will we have time to transfer to the local train to Volos that departs from Larissa at 14:43? Is 15 minutes enough to make the connection? Do the trains usually run on time?

Thank you.

My fiance and I are planning on getting married in or near Volos this summer and are looking for some advice. We are staying in Kala Nera and were wondering what is the best way to go about asking the Mayor of a nearby village or town to marry us? I have been sending emails to people with web sites like crazy, but no responses so far. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

We will be flying to Volos airport in May 2005 and want to hire a car. We have had a very good response and a good price from Pangosmio car hire and wondered whether anyone knows of this company , are they a reliable/reputable firm?
Waiting to hear from all you in the know,

We love Greece very much and have holdayed here for 26 years. May 2005 we are visiting the Pelion region, staying in Horton after collecting our hire car from Volos airport. As we will be self-catering we would be interested to know of any cheap supermarkets in the area. Is there a Lidl or anything similar?
I do hope someone can help. The only problem now is waiting the 6 months until our holiday begins.
