Volos is a coastal port city in Thessaly, Greece situated halfway along the Greek mainland. It is the capital of the Magnesia regional unit. Volos is built on the area of the ancient cities of Demetrias, Modern Pagasae and Iolcos, the homeland of mythological hero Jason. To the west of Volos lie the Neolithic settlements of Dimini and Sesklo, with remains dating back as far as 6000 BC, representing some of the earliest examples of civilization in Europe. The students conducted a questionnaire about the sense of sight and found most respondents believe sight influences judgment and is connected to other senses, though first impressions may not always be correct.

Demetrias, Modern Pagasae and Iolcos. Iolcos was
the homeland of mythological hero Jason, who
boarded the ship Argo accompanied by the Argonauts
and sailed in quest of the Golden Fleece to Colchis.
To the west of Volos lie the Neolithic settlements of
Dimini, with an acropolis, walls, and two beehive
tombs dating to between 4000-1200 BC, and Sesklo,
with the remains of the oldest acropolis in Greece
(6000 BC) and in Europe, one of the most
characteristic examples of Neolithic civilization.
