2ος Αγώνας Κολύμβησης Μαραθωνίας 2026 — Volos (KOE)

Volos offers a mix of urban hospitality and coastal charm. You will find boutique hotels situated directly on the bustling port, providing easy access to the race start. For those preferring a quieter atmosphere, small guesthouses are located throughout the city centre, often reflecting the traditional architecture of the region. Camping options are available along the nearby beaches of the Pelion peninsula. Expect to pay between €70 and €150 per night for standard double rooms, depending on proximity to the waterfront and the season.

Beyond the race, the region is defined by the slopes of Mount Pelion, offering extensive hiking trails through stone-built villages and lush forests. In the city, the Giorgio de Chirico Art Centre is a primary destination, housing over 400 works by the famous artist who was born here in 1888. The local culture is deeply tied to 'tsipouro' culture, with small tavernas offering traditional meze. For active recovery, sea kayaking and SUP are widely available in the calmer sections of the Pagasetic Gulf, allowing for a unique perspective of the coastline.
