Magnesia Regional Unit, Administrative division in Thessaly, Greece
The Magnesia Regional Unit extends from the Pagasetic Gulf to the Aegean Sea, containing both mainland territories and the Northern Sporades islands.
The region derives its name from the ancient Magnetes tribe who established settlements in this area during the early periods of Greek civilization.
The regional capital Volos maintains its connection to Greek mythology through the tale of Jason and the Argonauts, which originated in this region.
Transportation infrastructure includes Volos port, the Airport of Central Greece in Nea Anchialo, and regular bus connections to Athens and Thessaloniki.
Lake Karla, which underwent drainage in 1962, currently undergoes restoration efforts to reestablish its status as a natural water reservoir.
