Volos

Greece, Thessaly, Magnisia, Volos

Description

Located at the north of the gulf, Volos is a major regional centre with a population of more than 100,000 people. The city is the marine transport hub for Thessaly, Greece’s largest agricultural region, and a key ferry port for the holiday islands of the Northern Sporades. Cruise ships use the port as a base for visiting the Meteora monasteries and other local attractions.In summer a southerly breeze blows onto Volos nearly every afternoon, unless it is overridden by a strong regional or local airflow (e.g. a passing cold front or thunderstorm). This breeze varies in strength but is typically 10 to 15 knots. The afternoon southerly will blow even when prevailing north-easterlies of 10 to 15 knots are blowing at the south of the gulf and in the adjacent Evia Island channel.
