Athens to Volos

We can safely take you to Volos safely, comfortably and fast, even without a stop, if you want us to. However, if you have time to spare, there are things to see along the way.

Chances are you have heard of the battle of Themopylae , or seen the movie about it. The most glorious defeat in military history, where heavily outnumbered Greeks, under King Leonidas, faced the full force of the mighty Persian Empire under King Xerxes in the late summer of 480 BC.

Thermopylae Battle
Thermopylae today. The ancient coastline was much closer to the mountains, almost where the road is now.

After two days of fierce fighting and inflicting heavy casualties on the Persians, they were only defeated after a local Greek led the Persians through an unguarded path to the rear of the Greek lines. Still, the bulk of the Greek forces managed to withdraw thanks to the heroism of 300 Spartans, 700 Thespians and 400 Thebans who did not withdraw, stood their ground and where finally killed.

It is believed that the last men standing were surrounded and finished off with arrows. Many arrowheads and spearheads have been found in Kolonos hill, where the last phase of the battle took place. They can been seen in the Archaeological Museum of Athens.

Not far from there lies the beautiful seaside town of Kamena Vourla, famous for the springs that are believed to have therapeutic qualities.

Did you know?

The battle of Therompylae was lost for the Greeks because of a traitor who led the Persians to the rear of the Greek lines. He was a local Greek named Ephialtes. Almost 2500 years later, this word is still used in Greek language and means "nightmare".
