Epsa Museum

Known to all in Greece over the past decade, Epsa soft drinks have a history of 50 years. This history as exhibited in the Museum which is hosted within the modern production facilities in Agria of Volos, as well as the facilities themselves, are open to the public.
For the visitor of the Pelion region, and not only, a stop at Agria will be an interesting experience, not just because of the picturesque aspects of the town and its small tavernas: an industrial miracle took place there 60 years ago, laying the foundations of one of the most important Greek plants producing soft drinks and fruit juices.
The Museum of Epsa was created in 1987 at the same place, following the increasing interest of consumers to visit Epsa’s factory and be informed about the products and the history of the company.
