Description

A simply furnished apartment in a large detached villa on the edge

of a quiet seaside village about 7 mins walk from a sandy beach and

the village centre. Shared use of large, shady, enclosed garden

surrounded by olive groves. Come and experience life in a beautiful

Greek village much appreciated by Greek holiday makers but off the

beaten tourist track. Several other nice beaches are within easy

driving distance and many archaeological sites. AMA00000096183

The apartment is self contained with one twin bedroom with air

conditioning, bathroom with full bath with shower attachment, open

plan living/ dining area with small double sofa bed sleeping 2 and

well equipped kitchen facilities. Several balconies help to make the

most of the wonderful sun with views of the sea and the olive clad

hillsides. In the peaceful garden you will find barbecues for your

use and also swings and a slide for our younger visitors.

Please note this furnished apartment is offered by a private owner

on a self-catering basis only and does not provide hotel type

services. The villa is also available for rent as a whole on the

same basis.

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

monateries of Meteora, classical Delphi and other archaeological

sites in Magnesia and beyond. Fly to either Athens or Thessaloniki

and then take the E75 motorway with the nearest motorway exit around

15km from the house.You can also fly to Volos airport which is only

23km away with Air Berlin, Condor or Small Planet.

We recommend hiring a car so you can explore this lovely region but

it is also perfectly possible to reach the village using public

transport.

Amenities

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 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 is a beach bar. In summer Amaliapolis is

popular with holidaying Greek families. You can experience the

'real' Greece here largely untouched by mass market tourism. Sit in

the village square looking out over the sea and watch the world go

by!

Attractions

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 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 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).

Visit Amaliapolis in Spring and see the hillsides covered in

beautiful fwildflowers. Take advantage of the lower temperatures in

May or June if you want to sight see as well as swim. The sea is

still wonderfully warm in September and October and the day time

temperatures not quite so hot as July and August. Even in the winter

months the weather is often bright and sunny.
