Paleo Trikeri is the only inhabited islet in the Gulf of Volos (also known as the Pegasitic Gulf). It was settled from prehistoric times until it was abandoned in the 16th century due to piracy – now it is home to a permanent population of less than fifty. The island is about a mile (1.7 km) long and consists of little more than some olive-covered hills and a few dirt tracks on two lovely rocky beaches on the north shore. 

Al Yianni is the only port village and visiting charterers keep its single shop, bar/café and couple of tavernas in business. This is the pace to moor your Paleo Trikeri Gulf of Volos yacht charter while you explore the island – not something that will take too long, given its size! From Al Yianni, it is a 15-minute walk to the 19th century monastery of Evangelistrias near the middle of the islet. There is a lovely courtyard with marble mosaics under the portico and the cells are being restored for future inhabitation by nuns.
