Volos Waterfront (Argonafton)
Παραλία Βόλου (Αργοναυτών)
A long promenade along the Pagasitic Gulf lined with cafés and tsipouradiko bars, with Mount Pelion rising behind the city.
The Volos Waterfront, also known as the Argonauts Avenue, runs about 2 km along the Pagasitic Gulf. On one side of the wide pedestrian area are the sea and the harbor; on the other are cafés, dessert shops and the many tsipouradiko bars. At a tsipouradiko, you order a small bottle of tsipouro and it comes with a plate of seafood mezedes. When you finish one dish, you order the next, making it the city's most distinctive dining experience. On an evening stroll, you can look out at the lights of the villages on Mount Pelion. At the far end of the promenade are the replica of the Argo and the university area.
