Details
The apartments are located in a large detached villa and have an area of about 42sq metres each in size. The villa is on the edge of a quiet seaside village about 7 minutes walk from a sandy beach and the village centre. The apartments have shared use of large, shady, enclosed garden surrounded by olive groves with garden furniture and a barbecue.
Each flat is self contained with one twin bedroom with air-conditioning and an open plan living/ dining room with a small double sofa bed for 2. The living area also incorporates well equipped kitchen facilities. Several balconies help to make the most of the wonderful sun with the apartments on the top floor having views of the sea and the olive clad hillsides.
Amaliapolis is a picturesque seaside village situated on a large bay in the Pagasitic Gulf on the east coast of Greece, 53km south of the lively university city of Volos from where Jason and the Argonauts set sail. It is roughly midway between Athens and Thessaloniki and so well situated for exploring mainland Greece, including the monasteries of Meteora, classical Delphi, the beautiful Pelion peninsula and other archaeological sites in Magnesia and beyond. There are charter flights to Nea Anchialos Volos Airport (13km) May-September and twice weekly flights with Air Berlin from Germany and Austria. Many flights to Athens and Thessalonika are obtainable and the villa is approx 20 km from the E75 Athens/Thessaloniki motorway.
In the village centre you will find a choice of cafes/bars and tavernas, with excellent fish, three of which stay open all year, all within walking distance of the villa. The village also has two bakeries and two general stores. The beach is also within walking distance of the apartments and is sandy and gently sloping - making it very suitable for young children. There is also a children's playground, 5-a-side football pitch and volleyball court next to the beach. In high season there are 2 beach bars. In summer Amaliapolis is popular with holidaying Greek families. You can experience the 'real' Greece here largely untouched by mass market tourism.
As well as the village beach there are several good beaches within a 30 minute drive. You can also take a boat trip to the island of Skiathos with its famous sandy beaches from the nearby village of Achillion. The area of Magnesia is rich in archaeological sites including Ancient Thebes, Prehistoric Dimini, Sesklo and Dimitras. Volos is a bustling small city with a wide range of shops, restaurants and ferry links to the nearby islands of Skiathos, Alonissos and Skopelos. The Pelion Peninsula is within driving distance with beautiful scenery - a good day trip. In winter there is even a ski resort on the Pelion Peninsula! Explore the seaside villages or drive up into the mountains for breathtaking views.
If you want to venture further afield both classical Delphi (approx 120km) and the Byzantine monasteries of Meteora (approx 180km) make fascinating excursions as does the lesser known archaeological site of Dion (approx 170km).
