From real experience

tipIndividuals seeking to transport personal belongings from Russia to Greece may need to explore specialized international shipping services.
Given current geopolitical situations, options might be limited or more complex than usual. It is advisable to research companies that handle international relocations or freight forwarding between these countries. Contacting several logistics providers to inquire about their services, timelines, costs, and customs procedures is recommended. Look for services that specifically offer door-to-door delivery or container shipping.

riskSending large quantities of olive oil (e.g., 100 liters) directly from Greece to Russia is challenging.
Standard postal services are unlikely to be suitable due to cost and regulations. Specialized transport companies might be an option, but costs can be high (e.g., starting from €7 per kg). For smaller quantities or specific brands, check if Russian suppliers import the desired oil, or explore options via third countries if direct shipping is not feasible.

tipTraveling with multiple passports on a single itinerary (e.g., Moscow-Istanbul-Athens) is possible if you use different passports for different segments.
Purchase separate tickets: one for Moscow-Istanbul using the passport without a Schengen visa, and another for Istanbul-Athens using the passport with the Schengen visa. You will need to re-check in at Istanbul.

caseVolos is suitable for a day trip. Key highlights include the Archaeological Museum (closes at 15:00), the railway station, and mountain villages like Makrinitsa and Portaria.
Portaria is known for the old church of Panagia Portariotissa. Seaside beaches in Volos are not recommended; visitors should focus on the mountain scenery.

tipFor a visit to the Meteora monasteries, Kalabaka or Kastraki are the recommended bases for accommodation.
Hiking from Kastraki up to the Holy Trinity monastery is physically demanding; it is easier to start at the top and descend. Early booking is essential due to the limited capacity of the area.
