I recently used the Volos Taxi Service to get from the Athens International Airport to the city of Volos. I was fully satisfied with the provided services. Dimitris is a true professional. An excellent driver, I reached my destination fast, comfortably and safely. Customer oriented - when asked, he happily accepted to make a detour, which was initially out of schedule. I would certainly use this service again.

I am often amazed at just how good some local museums are in Greece, and this is simply superb. The items on display are stunning, I particularly enjoyed the neolithic section, which is of immense importance, and this museum has a vast collection. All the rest of the museum is excellent too ! The displays are imaginative, and very well laid out. The staff are informative and helpful. This region has a great wealth of ancient history, brilliantly captured here. The dominant language of the information given is in Greek, obviously, but much of it is also in English too. I'd like to see more in English, as some items had no translations. I would also suggest some more interesting sales items in the small shop, as it is dominated by books in Greek, which sadly, I can't read. Overall, I much congratulate the museum staff on a great job.
