Portaria, cosmopolitan village
Portaria is a green mountain village with running water, built at an altitude of about 650 meters. It is the first village that we find going up to Pelion, just 13 km away from Volos. You will find a perfectly traditional village with beautiful mansions and stone cobblestone streets. The name of the village "Portaria" comes from the monastery of "Virgin Mary of Portaria" which was built around 1273.
Turquoise waters, rich vegetation that almost touches the sea and a wild, "divine" beauty. This is the triptych of the idyllic beaches of the "mythical" Pelion, the summer residence of the 12 gods of Olympus. The best beaches of Eastern and Southern Pelion await you, with a scene that looks exotic. Discover them!
The city of Volos is located in the Pagasitic Gulf in the region of Thessaly. From its harbor are served sailings to the islands of the Sporades.
