Hollidays in Thessaly.

Prefectures in Thessaly : Karditsa, Larisa, Magnisia and Trikala

Thessaly consists of a ring of mountains surrounding a central plain: Trikala and Larissa lowlands.

The Khásia and Cambunian mountains lie to the north, the Olympus massif to the northeast. To the west lies the Pindus mountain range, to the southeast the coastal ranges of Óssa and Pelion.

It has a distinct summer and winter season, with summer rains augmenting the fertility of the plains. This has led to Thessaly occasionally being called the breadbasket of Greece [ rice, tobacco, olives, vegetables and fruit ].

Capital City of Thessaly : Larissa

 Thessalia  -  Thessalia-region.com
The region of Thessaly, is characterized by a highly variable landscape which includes some of the most interesting and unique formations of Greece. In the mountain range of Olympus, the home of the twelve Gods of ancient mythology, lies the highest mountain peek of Greece, the "Mitikas" (2,917 meters). Other travel destinations of interest include, the Southern portion of the mountain range of Pindos, the Meteora which is the largest monastery cluster and climbing range of Greece and Mt. Pelion which is one the most traditional mountainous areas.
The plain of Thessaly is crossed by the river Pinios and the mountain range of Nevropolis Agrafon houses the artificial lake Tauropou within a wooded alpine landscape. The mountains, lakes, forests, the sea with its islands, the plains and the rivers all serve to attract many visitors, servicing as much special thematic tourism as simple sightseers.
Destinations : Alonisos, Karditsa, Larissa, Magnisia, Skiathos, Skopolos and Trikala.
