Thessaly beyond Salonica Attractions

 
Thessaly is a region in central Greece, bounded on the west by the Pindos range, on the north by Macedonia, on the east by the Aegean and on the south by Boeotia.

Thessaly, with an area of 14,000 sq. km/5,400 sq. mi, is a fertile agricultural region which was famed in ancient times for its horses and is now important for agricultural produce such as cotton and sugar-beet. The wide expanses of cultivable land available here, in contrast to the regions farther south, led in classical and Turkish times to the development of large estates and in more recent times has favored the establishment of agricultural cooperatives.
