You have to go by road, so you can go by bus, by taxi or with your own or a rented car. For the buses, you can contact the KTEL company (see Transportation) Unfortunately, the Magnisia page on their website does not give any useful information about lines or timetables in the Pilion. However we know that there are daily buses between Volos and Agios Ioannis.
In Greece, it is very common to travel over long distances by taxi.If you rent a car, or come with your own car: from the port and city center of Volos two main roads lead to the Pilion peninsula. You can use both to go to Papa Nero beach. Both take between 1 and 2 hours, depending on whether you are used to drive in a mountainous area, whether you are stuck behind a truck or a bus, and how often you stop to admire the magnificent landscapes and make pictures.
The first main road leaves the city in a north-eastern direction via El. Venizelou Street, through the suburbs of Ano Volos, Iolkos and Portaria. This road crosses the Pilion mountains and climbs to 1200 metres above sea level in Hania (Chania). Of course, this road offers magnificent views of the city of Volos and the Pagasitic Gulf (Pagasitikos Kolpos).
After Hania (where a well-known ski resort is situated) the roads goes down to about 300-400 metres above sea level and from then on it continues in a south-western direction. All the places on the Aegean coast (Horefto, Agios Ioannis, Damouhari, Tsangarada, Milopotamos, Limnionas) are reached via smaller roads that link them to the main road.
To reach Papa Nero beach, stay on the main road until Mouresi and from there follow the road down to Agios Ioannis and Damouhari. Papa Nero is between these two villages.The second main road leaves Volos in a south-eastern direction via Iasonos and Polimeri Streets, and follows more or less the coast line of the Pagasitikos Kolpos through the villages of Agria, Kato & Ano Lehonia, Kato Gatzea until Kala Nera. Just pass Kala Nera, take the road to Milies and Tsangarada.
This road also crosses the peninsula to the Aegean side, but it does not climb any higher than 500-600 metres above sea level. After Tsangarada, stay on the main road until Mouresi and you reach the same place as with the first road.

About Hostel Katerina
- Apartments to Let
- Volos, Pelion, Greece
- Let this be clear: Hostel Katerina is not just an ordinary hotel! It is the typically Greek mixture of a hotel and a room for rent: you rent a room and you are completely independent, but Katerina and the Fotopoulos family are always there when you need them. They can make your breakfast if you ask for it; if you don't, you can use the tables and chairs in the central place to eat the breakfast you prepared yourself. For the other meals it's the same: you can walk or drive to one of the many restaurants in Agios Ioannis or Damouhari or you can prepare something yourself in the kitchenette and eat it either on your balcony or in the central place.
Where
Hostel Katerina is situated above the quiet Papa Nero beach, and down the village of Mouresi, between Agios Ioannis and Damouchari, on the Pilion peninsula, at approximately half way between Athens and Thessaloniki in continental Greece.
For those who only visit Greek islands: the Pilion is the peninsula close to the island of Skiathos the central place.
From the hostel, you have a beautiful view on the Aegean sea and on Papa Nero beach.
Social life in Hostel Katerina is concentrated on the central terrace. Most of the time you can find Katerina or her parents here. They live in the ground floor of the building on this picture; it isn't really the ground floor, a lower part of the house is accessible via the stairs on the left.Three guest rooms are situated on the first floor of that same building.
On the right side of the first and the second picture you can see the beginning of the path leading to the asphalt road. That path is fairly steep, partly in the form of stairs, partly on rocks, and unfortunately not suitable for handicapped persons. At the other side of the central terrace you can see a glimpse of the second building of Hostel Katerina, which houses most of the guest rooms.
The stairs lead to the two apartments and one other room. Under the stairs you see the beginning of a corridor giving access to five other rooms. If you go up the stairs you reach the entrance to the apartments. The entrance is at ground level, however on the other side of the building the balconies of the apartments are on the second floor.
If you walk through the corridor you will find an open air shower on your way to the beach (however most guests use it on their way back from the sea to their rooms). The shower has warm and cold water (although it cannot be guaranteed that the cold water is really cold when the average afternoon temperature in July and August is around 30°C).
From the shower a path leads down to the Papa Nero beach. It took your webmaster and his 4 years old daughter a few minutes to go down to the beach, and a few minutes more to climb back to Hostel Katerina.
The path ends at the southern end of the beach; and is clearly indicated with this blue sign.Once again it should be pointed out that unfortunately this kind of path is not suitable for handicapped persons.
