Afissos

Afissos is a lovely summer as well as winter resort about 25 km from Volos, on the foot of the Southern side of Mount Pelion by the sea. It is amphitheatrically built amidst olive groves, it is well organized with tourist facilities but it has retained all its traditional charm. The village's white houses are located on the mountain slope and view the Pagasetic Gulf . This way the entire village is surrounded by olive trees and stretches all the way down to the sea. Its traditional architecture has its roots in the beginning of the previous century, and many of the mansions of that period still stand today.

In ancient times, the village was known for the outstanding quality of its water and according to legend Afissos was where Jason and the Argonauts stopped for water, before continuing their journey to Colhida. Right before entering the village one can find the beautiful large and sandy beach of Kallifteri, then Lagoudi, and at the other end of the village the beach Ambovos. In Afissos you can enjoy a fabulous sunset, as you watch the sun slowly slide down and lose itself in the horizon of the Pagasetic Gulf. Visitors can try local specialties at the various fish taverns, "tavernas" and restaurants, or enjoy their drink or coffee at the bars and cafés.

During the summer season there is an abundance of festivals to enjoy under the name "ARGONAFTIKA" (ARGONAUTIKA from the expedition of the Argonauts). Afissos is the perfect destination in Pelion for relaxing holidays during the summer months, and makes an ideal base from which visitors can easily explore other parts of the Pelion Peninsula.

Karavia Lux Inn is the perfect location to enjoy luxury accommodation in Afissos.
