Your journey begins from Volos Port, heading through scenic mountain roads toward the charming village of Tsagkarada.

Nestled on the slopes of Mount Pelion and shaded by dense forests, this picturesque village is perfect for a short stop — enjoy a coffee break, take photos of the breathtaking landscapes, and visit the famous Agia Paraskevi Square, home to the legendary 1,000-year-old plane tree. Stroll past traditional stone houses, cobblestone streets, and small chapels while soaking in the fresh mountain air.

From Tsagkarada, continue your adventure with a drive through lush green forests toward Mylopotamos Beach, one of the most stunning and renowned beaches in Pelion. Here, you’ll have time for a leisurely swim in the crystal-clear waters, relax on the white pebbled shoreline, or explore the unique rock formations and small caves.

After enjoying the beach, travel to the seaside village of Kala Nera, where you’ll have free time for an optional meal at a seaside taverna or to browse the local shops for souvenirs and handmade goods. This relaxed stop is the perfect way to end your day before returning to Volos.
