This picture is taken from my city, Volos.

From yesterday 27.10.2007 Volos - Larisa has been nominated as the next city to host the Mediteranean Games in 2013. The decision was taken in Pescara, Italy, among the other two candidate cities Rijeka, Croatia, and Mersina, Turkey.

Volos is a city situated at the center of the Greek mainland, about 326 km north from Athens and 215 km south from Thessaloniki.It is the capital of Magnesia prefecture.

Built at the innermost point of the Pagasetic Gulf and at the foot of Mount Pilio or Pelion (the land of the Centaurs), Volos is the only outlet towards the sea from Thessaly, the country's largest agricultural region. It is an important industrial centre, while its port provides a bridge between Europe, the Middle East and Asia. Volos is the third of the major commercial ports of Greece, but also gains much traffic because it is connected by ferries as well as by hydrofoils with the nearby Sporades Islands, which includes Skiathos, Skopelos and Alonissos.

Volos participated in the Olympic Games and as an Olympic City it acquired international experience and together with the other Olympic Cities it defined worldwide the new face of contemporary Greece. Noteworthy are the continuous athletic events that the city held like the European Gymnastics Championship in 2006 and the World Pool Championship. Volos will be the host of the Mediterranean Games of 2013.

The yellow building is the University of Thessaly, one of the most important of the country with various departments.

-:))) Καλή επιτυχία Κωνσταντίνε, ευχάριστη έκβαση.
Όμορφη εικόνα μιας όμορφης γωνιάς του βόλου, όταν είχα περάσει από εκεί για Πήλιο, είχα μείνει μια βραδυά, δεν την θυμάμαι την γέφυρα.
Καλό απόγευμα.
Βαγγέλης

Kosta kalispera,
Nicely framed composition with the curving bridge, the blue water and the cloud decorated sky. What a beautiful city, the games will benefit The curving bridge reminds me of Venice.
