Volos was our second stop on our first road trip through mainland Greece. We chose to stay up in the hills outside of the city after our long drive from Thessaloniki. We stayed one night at the AN. While we enjoyed the scenic beauty of the view from this mountain village, accessibility to the hotel was limited. (Public parking next door was convenient, but getting our bags to the hotel over a beaten rocky ascending path was a bit of a pain. Hotel should consider paving pathway. Alternative was stopping car on a very narrow and relatively busy street with a blind curve and quickly shoving bags into courtyard.) The breakfast was great, but service was less than so ( a little distant, perhaps constrained or preoccupied). Cottage on terrace was “rustic” as expected, but a bit smaller than the pictures portrayed. If the hotel would make minor improvements in accessibility we might visit AN on another visit to the region.
