Thessaly, Traditional geographic region in northern Greece
The territory extends between the Pindus Mountains and Aegean Sea, containing two main fertile plains divided by hills near Trikala and Larissa.
The region became part of modern Greece in 1881 through the Convention of Constantinople, with final liberation from Ottoman control during the First Balkan War.
The ancient Thessalians established a three-tier social system, dividing the population into bondsmen, subject peoples, and Thessalian rulers who controlled the territory.
The agricultural sector focuses on grain production and cattle raising, with modern transport infrastructure connecting the region to Athens and Thessaloniki.
The Vale of Tempe forms a natural gateway where the Pineios River cuts through the mountains before flowing into the Aegean Sea.
