It's a region with an industrial growth, mainly due to the harbour of Volos that turns the region into an important business, commercial and trade centre.  The region of Pelion, with its natural beauties and the thousands of visitors, any time, make Magnesia one of the most important tourist centres of Greece.
Mt. Pelion, a unique museum of natural beauty rises in lush magnificence to the northeast of Volos, just a few steps from this town. The luxuriant vegetation, the running waters, the stone mansions and the long beaches create unique scenery, full of colours and charm.
