Discover the timeless beauty of Mount Pelion on this relaxed small-group shore excursion, designed specifically for cruise passengers calling at Volos Port.

After meeting your guide directly at the port, travel comfortably into the lush mountain landscape of Pelion. Your first stop is Makrinitsa, famously known as the “Balcony of Pelion,” offering breathtaking panoramic views over Volos and the Pagasetic Gulf.

Next, journey to Portaria, one of Pelion’s most charming and lively villages. Shaded by ancient plane trees and adorned with stone fountains and neoclassical architecture, Portaria perfectly captures the authentic character of the region.

Here, you will enjoy a relaxed wine-tasting experience at a local venue, sampling selected regional wines paired with light bites. Non-alcoholic alternatives are available upon request.

The tour concludes with a guaranteed timely return to Volos Port, allowing you to rejoin your ship comfortably and stress-free.
