Private Pelion Seaside Escape – Afissos & Abovos Beach

Once you disembark from your cruise ship at the Port of Volos, you will see the cruise line buses will be parked directly in front of the ship. Our Avalon Travel vehicles and staff will be located to the right side as you exit the ship. 

Please look to your right and walk a short distance in that direction. Our team will be waiting there, holding Avalon Travel signs so you can easily identify them. 

Cruise Friendly Refund Policy

Avalon Shore Excursions offer a full refund if:

• Your cruise ship arrives late, causing you to miss the excursion.
• The ship changes its arrival date and rescheduling isn't possible.
• The ship skips port or the cruise is canceled.
• You cancel before the Cancellation Deadline on your confirmation voucher.

Escape the port and enjoy a relaxed introduction to Pelion on this private shore excursion from Volos, combining a charming seaside village with time to swim and dine by the sea.

Travel through the scenic landscapes of Pelion to the traditional village of Afissos, beautifully set above the Pagasetic Gulf. Enjoy free time to explore at your own pace, stroll through the village streets, relax at a café, or take in panoramic sea views.

Continue to nearby Abovos Beach, one of the area’s most accessible and well-organized beaches. Known for its calm waters and relaxed atmosphere, Abovos is ideal for swimming or unwinding by the sea. Several beachfront tavernas and cafés are available for an optional lunch or refreshments, offering fresh local cuisine and seaside views.
