Vacation Rental Description
These apartments are located in a large detached villa in the beautiful seaside village of Amaliapolis (also known as Mitzela), which is popular with Greek holiday makers in August but off the beaten tourist track. Each flat is self contained and about 42m2 with one twin bedroom with air conditioning, bathroom with full bath with shower attachment, open plan living/dining area with small double sofa bed for 2 people and well equipped kitchen facilities. The living room is cooled by a ceiling fan. Several balconies help to make the most of the wonderful sun. Some of the apartments have sea views and all look out over the olive clad hillsides. The ground floor apartment may be suited for guests with limited mobility. There is a large garden with plenty of shade which is used by all the apartments and where you will find barbecues and swings for our younger visitors.
In the village centre you will find a choice of cafes/bars and tavernas, with excellent fish, several 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 about 7 minutes walk (700m) from 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. The area of Magnesia is rich in archaeological sites including 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 peninsula! Explore the seaside villages or drive up into the mountains for breathtaking views.
The village of Amaliapolis is 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, Dion and other archaeological sites in Magnesia and beyond. There are flights to Volos Airport (23km) March-October or scheduled, budget or charterflights to Athens or Thessaloniki are equally convenient. The village is about 15km from the E75 motorway which links Athens and Thessaloniki. Car hire is recommended but you can also use public transport to reach the village.
By renting more than one apartment parties of 4, 8, 12 or 16 people can be accommodated. If you require accommodation for more than 16 people please enquire.

Owner Location Comment
Amaliapolis is a charming small village nestling on the shore of Pagasitic Gulf facing the Pelion peninsula, land of the Centaurs. It is conveniently situated on the Greek mainland approximately half-way between Athens and Thessaloniki and so makes a good touring base for visiting the stunning monasteries of Meteora or the ancient site of Delphi where the oracle was located for example. The village itself is lively in August when its population is expanded by visiting Athenian families but at most other times of the year it provides a peaceful refuge from the hurly burly of modern life where you will be delighted, as we were, by the warm welcome you will receive from the locals people in the true tradition of 'filoxenia' (love of foreigners). Travel Options
- Nearest Airport : Volos at 23 kilometers distance;
- Nearest Train Station : Volos at 53 kilometers distance
- Nearest Town : Amaliapolis at 0.5 kilometers distance
- Travel Info: The nearest airport is Volos (VOL) airport (23km) which has flights with Air Berlin, Ryanair and Monarch from March-October. We can arrange for a local taxi to pick you up there. Alternatively you can fly to either Athens or Thessaloniki (SKG)and drive to the village of Amaliapolis from there using the E75 motorway. If you don't want to hire a car you can use the frequent long distance buses from Athens or Thessaloniki to Thessaly (Volos or Almyros)- we can provide some assistance with how to do this. There are also good roads from Patras or Igoumenitsa if you prefer to arrive by ferry from Italy. However you chose to travel you will not be disappointed when you arrive in the beautiful village of Amaliapolis and see the blue sea of the Pagasitic Gulf.

Review Submitted: 11/8/2010
Arrived hot & tired to find a clean,spacious and cool apartment. The apartment was well equipped. (Bed linen and towels were changed during our stay) The villa is in a peaceful area surrounded by olive groves, plenty of parking spaces if needed. We enjoyed eating out on the balcony in the cool of the evening and mornings. Very few flies! An easy walk to a superb beach-we are keen swimmers and this was by far the safest and cleanest water we have ever been in. Amaliapolis village is beautiful -catering for holiday makers yet not at all 'touristy'
2 Beach bars both tastefully designed allow you to use sunbeds etc as long as you but a drink.At night the local tavernas on the sea front are typically greek and very accommodating.We found everyone so friendly even though our greek is extremely limited! There was a small supermarket and bakery all within walking distance.
We would highly recommend the villa for couples of all ages and it is also ideal for families. If you have a car you can travel further afield as we did and visit fascinating places such as Mount Olympus,the world heritage site at Meteora or numerous archaeological sites plus ferries to the islands. All these are listed in an information booklet in the apartment which was extremely useful and accurate.
After 2 glorious weeks our holiday had to end and we can honestly we had the best of times. A big thank you to the owner!
Owners Profile
A real holiday 'find'
Amaliapolis is a really beautiful place and we have found the local people, who mostly earn their living from agriculture, to be extremely warm and welcoming. We feel we are very privileged to own this holiday home and are keen to share it so that others can experience the relaxing tranquility of a holiday in this little known area of Thessaly. For anyone wishing to be a bit more active it also has much to offer in terms of archaeological sites, mountain and seaside villages to explore and natural landscapes for great walks. We look forward to welcoming you.
