                  How to get there

                  From the city of Volos and for eastern Pelion you head to Portaria and Chania and later descend to the beaches of eastern Pelion. The distances to the beaches of eastern Pelion are long, you will need about an hour to reach by car, the gas stations are few so it is good to have your tank full. The turns on the road are many but the scenery is beautiful and will compensate you. You can also reach it from the south if you head to Neochori and Tsagarada. Finally, from the city of Volos there are itineraries with the KTEL, for itinerary information at 0030 24210 33253, 0030 24210 33254 and 0030 24210 25527.
