== Transport == All land transport reaches Volos, while the [[International Airport of Central Greece]] in [[Nea Anchialos]] links the city to international destinations, and the Port of Volos provides links to the islands, mostly the [[Sporades]], as well as to some destinations in [[Pilio]]. ===Motorways=== Volos is linked through Greece's [[European route E75|E75]] Highway Axis (most often known as [[PATHE]]) with Northern and Southern Greece. Beyond this, the Axis E65 will be the gateway to Western Greece and the port of [[Igoumenitsa]], through the plains of inner [[Thessaly]], when this part of the E65 link is completed. ===Airport=== The city of Volos, along with the rest of Central Greece, is linked to the rest of Greece and Europe by the [[Nea Anchialos National Airport]]. The airport has the second longest commercial runway in Greece after [[Athens International Airport|Eleftherios Venizelos]]. Volos is the first city in Europe to feature Seaplane Services {{citation needed|date=March 2015}} through Argo Airways, which is based in Volos. The seaplanes connect Volos with Skiathos, Skopelos, Allonisos, Athens and Thessaloniki. ===Railway=== {{See also|Volos railway station}} Today, the city is served by direct lines to the rest of Greece, and the railway complex houses facilities for train maintenance. Volos is directly linked with Athens once per day, with [[Thessaloniki]] twice per day, and with [[Larissa]] 15 times a day. In the past, Volos was served by railway lines of three different gauges, the [[metre gauge]] line of [[Thessaly Railways]] to [[Kalampaka]], the standard gauge line to Larissa and the {{RailGauge|600mm|lk=on}} gauge line to [[Pelion]]. Remnants of [[dual gauge|triple gauge]] lines still exist near the station. Currently, the Pelion railway line operates for tourist reasons every Saturday, Sunday and public holiday from mid-April to the end of October. The train runs every day during July and August.
