Phthiotis Regional Unit, Regional unit in Central Greece
Located near the Malian Gulf, Phthiotis spans across 4,440 square kilometers including mountains, plains, and coastal areas between Athens and Thessaloniki.
The region underwent administrative restructuring in 2011, transforming from Phthiotis Prefecture into a regional unit under the Kallikratis governmental reform.
Ancient Greek texts mention this region as Phthia, the homeland of Achilles, connecting the area directly to classical mythology and literature.
The regional unit contains seven municipalities, with Lamia serving as the administrative center and main transportation hub for the entire territory.
The Spercheios River valley forms a natural corridor through Phthiotis, creating a passage between the mountains that connects the interior to the Malian Gulf.
