Nea Ionia

Nea Ionia is best known within central Greece for its origins as a settlement created for Greek refugees from Asia Minor. Now part of the city of Volos, it occupies the urban plain north of the centre, with the Pagasetic Gulf shaping the wider setting and Mount Pelion rising across the water. Its name, meaning “New Ionia,” preserves the connection to communities displaced in the population exchange between Greece and Turkey after the Greco-Turkish War. Local streets, churches and associations continue to reflect this refugee inheritance, while Volos’s waterfront, port and rail heritage are close by.
