This is a really unspoilt small seaside village on the east coast of mainland Greece about midway between Athens and Thessaloniki. It is just south of the city of Volos on the Pagasitic Gulf, opposite the Pelion peninsula.

Amaliapolis is situated on a large bay and has nice tavernas which are well known locally for fresh fish, cafes and a couple of minimarkets. The gently sloping sandy beach at one end of the village is good for kids, as the water is quite shallow. There are very few tourists so the locals are very welcoming to visitors and, as the tavernas cater mostly for Greeks, the prices are reasonable. There is a good cross section of accommodation from some upmarket villas, through to holiday apartments, a couple of small hotels and basic rooms for rent.

The main square looks out over the sea to a romantic uninhabited island in the bay with a whitewashed church and it is a great place to sit with an ouzo and watch the world go by.
