Pagasitikos Gulf (Gulf of Volos)
An online cruising guide for yachts sailing around the Pagasitikos Gulf (Gulf of Volos).
Pagasitikos Gulf
| |
Pagasitikos Gulf (Παγασιτικός Κόλπος) or the Gulf of Volos and the Trikeri Peninsula at the foot of Mt. Pelion is the enchanted region where the centaur Chiron taught so many mythological heroes including Jason the leader of the Argonauts. This is the place where that mythical journey to the Black Sea began.
The Trikeri Channel that separates Skiathos from Evia and the mainland. In the middle of the channel there is the infamous reef Lefteris, this reef covers a very small area and it is very treacherous. The channel is very busy with traffic and many ships have found their doom on Lefteris. The list includes many of the ships from the Persian fleet of Xerxes on their way to conquer Greece in 480 BC. The reef then was called Myrmes. In Lefteris also the heroic Greek submarine Lambros Katsonis was sank with all hands except three crewmen who after swimming for 9 hours made it to Skiathos.
Inside the gulf, is a good sailing ground because there are relatively flat seas while the wind, channeled by the mountains can be quite strong.

Mt. Pelio
A land expedition to Mt. Pelio with its many picturesque villages is highly recommended.

The Monastery of Panayia, built in 1829, is about 15 minute walk up the hill from the harbor. It is a nice walk and the monastery is very pleasant and well maintained.
