Vólos, in the much indented Gulf of Vólos (modern Greek Pagasitikós Kólpos), rebuilt after a severe earthquake in 1955, is Greece's third largest port and the principal port for the shipment of the agricultural produce of Thessaly. It has weaving mills, cement works and tobacco factories.
The town was founded only in the 14th century, although it lies in an area which has been occupied by man since the Neolithic era. The oldest settlements were found at the villages of Sésklo (fourth millennium) and Dímini (third millennium), to the west of the town.
