Our village, Amaliapolis, Greece

Where is Amaliapolis? ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

Almost all of the houses have a great view to the sea, the Pagasetic Gulf.

[object Object],Our village was created in 1837 by refugees coming from Old Mitzela, on Mt Pelion. There, Mitzela had been ruined twice in the past. Therefore, Queen Amalia granted the people a place to live near Almyros and that is where they built Mitzela. Then, its official name became Amaliapolis.

[object Object],In the tallest place of Amaliapolis, people built a beautiful castle.

[object Object],Queen Amalia used to spend some time there.

These are the stairs that lead to the castle.

[object Object],Opposite our village there is a small village which is called St. Nicolas.

[object Object],In the summer, a boat/taxi takes us to the little island.

There is a small church on the island.

[object Object],In the harbour, there are many fishing boats and three cruise liners. In the summer, many people go on cruises with these ships all over Greece. When the ships leave, the children dive in the sea and come out climbing on the rocks.

[object Object],People love travelling to the small island opposite Amaliapolis, although no one lives there. There are two beaches over there. The first one is big, but the second one is smaller. There are fishing boats in the big beach.

[object Object],The village square is in the center of Amaliapolis. It is not very big. In the central square there are many fish taverns and cafes. The square is near the sea and it is very picturesque.

[object Object],Next to the square there is a monument where celebrations take place. At the weekends many people come to the square to enjoy themselves!

The village church is next to the central square.

The playground is next to the football field. They are both next to our school!

A small beach, almost private!

This is the most popular beach. There are beach bars that serve coffee, juice, snacks and ‘tsipouro’, the traditional Greek drink.
