A fairly modern port city, Volos is home to several interesting museums, great local food, and a rich history.

Volos is the newest of the Greek port cities, with a large proportion of modern buildings erected following the catastrophic earthquakes of 1955. The economy of the city is based on manufacturing, trade, services and tourism. Home to the University of Thessaly, the city also offers facilities for conferences, exhibitions and major sporting, cultural and scientific events. Volos participated in the 2004 Olympic Games, and the city has since played host to other athletic events, such as the European Athletic Championships. Volos hosted the 7th International Olympiad on Astronomy and Astrophysics from 27 July to 5 August 2013.

Planning was fun and your crew was really helpful. I had a problem with the website accepting my credit card, and I panicked because my first choice for a Berlin hotel was unavailable when I re-entered my info. I found out it had gone through and I had paid twice. The support team was very quick to get my refund. The accommodations were good. I was satisfied with RoutePerfect and have already recommended it to friends!

I happened to find RoutePerfect.com just by Google search when my wife and I were talking about the possibility of traveling in Europe. It's an amazing website that really helped us plan the perfect trip! The planning process was very easy, and the suggestions that the site made for us really helped and we were able to find many awesome places. The selection of the hotels was great and I really like how the site is linked with TripAdvisor to make sure that you are picking a good hotel. The package price was very good, and cheaper than other sites.
