METEORA & THESSALY
The region of Thessaly (Θεσσαλία) occupies much of east-central Greece between the
Pindos Mountains and the Aegean Sea. The fertile and river-fed Thessalian plain suppor-
ted one of the earliest neolithic settlements on the continent. Today, it boasts two of
Greece's most extraordinary natural phenomena: the lofty monastery-capped rock pin-
nacles of Meteora, and the lush Pelion Peninsula. The mountains and alpine meadows
around Elati are destinations for outdoor enthusiasts.
