VOLOS Agios Ioannis Port
Edit SpotAbout
Works rarely in summer and more during the winter.Nevertheless, never seen this spot crowded, with more than a few surfers out there.
The little fishermen village is encircled from a magic landscape.Take a day or two and expore the mountain of Kentavros!
Additional Info:
Needs STRONG N-NE winds (7+ bf) to work properly.
The break is fast and strong. Beware of rocks. They are well hidden close to the beach and can make your board a little bit sorter!
