After you have reached the city of Volos follow the signs to Mt.Pelion. Agios Ioannis is on the East coast of the mountain. There are 2 routes you can take : Either through Portaria-Chania-Agios Dimitris, or through Milies-Tsagarada. The distance is the same - 1,5hrs max from Volos. The break is on the right (south) side of the beach, towards the small river. |

Additional Surfing Infos |
| | Worth going if NE winds over F5 are forecasted in the area, especially when it's blowing for a couple of days or more. Actually, the wind rarely reaches the beach, but the windswell does.
In July & August there are lifeguards who won't let you surf in the buoy (swimmers) area, if at all (the beach is closed when the waves are bigger than 1,5m). Be friendly and you can persuade them to surf outside the swimmers area (south end of the beach). That's where the waves are rideable after all, the rest is mostly a nasty shorebreak.
Finding a place to park can be tricky during weekends in June & July and even weekdays in August.
In the winter conditions can be rougher!

Overview |
| |
Atmosphere |
Surely not epic, but can get good for Agean standards. A half-decent semi-point break with a short but fairly powerful ride. Launch area can be rocky at times so worth bringing an epoxy/pop out/older board. |
