TheVillage:

You will find a warm welcome in Amaliapolis where the Greek concept of 'filoxenia' (hospitality towards strangers) is still adhered to. Amaliapolis is popular with holidaying Greek families in late July and August but has very few foreign tourists.

The beach is within walking distance of the villa and is sandy and gently sloping - making it very suitable for young children. There is a choice of cafes and tavernas, with excellent fish, three of which stay open all year. The main square is a wonderful place to sit and watch the world go by and the fishing boats as they come and go.

The village also has two bakeries and two general stores, one of which also doubles as a butcher's. It also has a children's playground, 5-a-side football pitch and basketball court near the beach, with a beach volleyball court in summer. In the next village there is a larger supermarket, post office and pharmacy (15 mins drive away).

You can experience the 'real' Greece here, largely untouched by mass market tourism.

The Surrounding Area:

Beaches: as well as the village beach (walking distance), there are several other nice sandy beaches within a 30 minute drive of the villa. In summer there are daily boat trips to Skiathos departing from the nearby village of Achillion.

Archaeology: the area of Magnesia is also rich in archaeological sites including Ancient Thebes, Prehistoric Dimini,Sesklo and Dimitras. Volos has an excellent archaeological museum.

Shopping: Volos, from whence Jason and the Argonauts are said to have set sail, is a bustling small city with a wide range of shops, restaurants and ferry links to nearby islands such as Skiathos, Alonissos and Skopelos.

Excursions: the Pelion Peninsula is also within driving distance with beautiful scenery, historic mountain villages and seaside resorts - a good day trip. In winter there is even a ski resort on the peninsula!
Further afield you can visit classical Delphi (approx.120km), the Byzantine monasteries of Meteora (approx.180km) or the Hellenistic/Roman site of ancient Dion (approx. 170km).

Getting there:
There are charter flights to Volos Airport (20km) May-September or fly to Athens or Thessaloniki. Large choice of scheduled, budget (Easyjet) or charter flights. Then drive, all motorway until the last 13km, or take a long distance bus to Almyros/Volos.
Use of a hire car is recommended to make the most of this beautiful area but we can also arrange for the local taxi or minibus service to meet flights/ take you on excursions.

When to visit: Spring and early summer(April, May, June) are excellent times to explore Greece - the weather is generally sunny but it is not too hot, but warm enough to swim in May and June. In Springtime the hills are covered in beautiful wild flowers and there is plentiful birdlife if you are into ornithology!Likewise September and October are great months - the sea is still very warm after the summer but the air temperature is more pleasant after the July/August heat. The winter months can also offer clear, sunny days to lift the spirits.

As I mentioned previously, we have been to Greece five times before - to islands never the mainland - so we know that the Greek people are special. I have to say though that nothing, nothing, could have prepared us for the kindness and generosity shown to us by the people in the village, we were totally bowled over by it.'

We loved the little cafe/bar just past the main square, with its wonderful view of the little church on the island... We really enjoyed our stay and feel that the accommodation is very good value and in a very convenient location. Thank you for such good communication and directions prior to the holiday it made our journey planning and arrival very easy and trouble free.'
