Thessaly Region, Administrative region in central Greece.
The Thessaly region comprises five regional units, including Karditsa, Larissa, Magnisia, Sporades, and Trikala, with Larissa serving as the capital city.
The region became part of the modern Greek state in 1881 following four centuries of Ottoman rule, marked by resistance from Greeks and Albanians.
Traditional music performances, local festivals, and agricultural celebrations form the regional identity, reflecting centuries of Greek heritage and customs.
The region connects to major Greek cities through highways and features an international airport in Volos, facilitating travel throughout the area.
Mount Olympus borders the region, while the Meteora rock formations support ancient monasteries that stand on natural stone pillars.
