HOLIDAY IN THESSALY   >   GREECE 


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 ].
