Xenofontos & Platonos
The present building is located on the same site as the original one, built in 1870 in the centre of the Jewish neighbourhood. It was destroyed by the Germans in 1943. During World War II a large part of the Jewish population of Volos found refuge in the villages of Mount Pelion and were thus saved from destruction.

It was built in 1998 to honour the memory of the Jewish citizens of Volos and the victims of the Holocaust.
VOLOS TOWN HALL
Built in 1970 by Greek architect Dimitris Pikionis in the traditional style of Mount Pelion. On the first floor visitors can look at pictures portraying parts of the town's history.

BEACH
The nearest beach is just below the Xenia Hotel. But most citizens go to the Anavros beach a bit further down.
