Thessaly Tourist Information Guide takes you to lush valleys, Mt Olympus and Mt Ossa, beautiful beaches and verdant fruit groves. A Lake Plastiras tour is a very special day out, and can be accompanied by horseback riding in Thessaly. The Valley of Thessaly is stunning, as are the rock formations of Meteora. Agriolefkes ski resort is amazing as is sparkling Trikeri Island. Smokovo springs will rejuvenate your body and a quick drink of tsipouro, similar to ouzo, may just ease your mind.

Meteora in Thessaly

Meteora in Thessaly

Thessaly provides the antidote for the jaded tourist palate, with a host of natural wonders that amaze the visitor. The Valley of Thessaly was once an enclosed sea, and to the northeast is the Aesthetic Forest, a ravine of the Nestos River, deeply wooded and rich in natural beauty and wildlife.

The incredible rock formations of the Meteora defy the imagination; not just that Mother Nature could produce this unique landscape, but that men would have the strength and audacity to challenge these heights to build the twenty-seven monasteries that are perched on those rocky pinnacles.

Karditsa offers the snow-laden peaks of Mount Agrafa, its reflection bright in the pure water of Lake Plastiras. Against this idyllic and romantic setting stand stone houses surrounded by graceful pine and chestnut trees. Small wonder the lake is a favourite spot for couples to make their wedding vows.

The Pelion peninsula, sometimes described as the Switzerland of Greece is an intoxicating combination of mountain and sea. The mountains, bedecked with maquis, are covered with beech, acorn, maple and chestnut trees as they sweep down to the ocean. The area’s picturesque villages, with their unique architecture, are listed as preserved monuments.

Lake Plastiras is a brilliant example of Man working well with Nature. The lake offers a tour with stunning views of the lake itself, snowy mountain peaks, and an ever changing landscape of pine and oak forests, plane trees and villages with beautiful architecture, fountains and churches.

Plastiras is also the perfect spot for those who love the outdoors and active sports. In these perfect surrounding, you can go horseback riding, mountain biking, canoeing and trekking. The wildlife here is incredible, with bears, wolves and foxes as well as trees teeming with all manner of birds. This is a very different Greece!

Mythical Pelion, the land of the Centaur and Playground of the Gods, is a perfect holiday destination for our earth bound travellers too. The sandy beaches, many of them remote and intimate, and crystal-clear seas are ideal for lazing away those long summer days, while the ski centre of Agriolefkes on Mount Pelion make this a wonderful area for winter holidays as well.

For water sports lovers, the clean beaches and clear waters provide the perfect environment for windsurfing (Banana Beach), canoeing, snorkeling, water cycling and water ski. Boats can be rented to explore small islands such as Alatas, home to the of Agii Sarada monastery, Prassouda, monastery of Zoothohou Pigis and other small deserted islands with gorgeous sandy beaches and hidden caves.

Thessaly Tourism

Thessaly Tourism

An exhilarating holiday experience awaits you here! From the therapeutic springs of Smokovo to the peaceful and scenic island of Trikeri, this stunning region is a treasure chest of lifetime memories.

Trikeri, and its single village of the same name, is free of any traffic. The coastal paths provide a wonderful opportunity to stroll literally around the island, enjoying the scenic coastline and the numerous secluded coves and bays. The village taverns are the ideal place to soak in the island’s tranquility and hospitality.

The ancient notoriety of Volos derives from Jason and the Argonauts starting their quest for the Golden Fleece from here. Modern Volos enjoys the reputation as the spiritual home of the ouzeri. These tapas-style bars specialize in tsipouro, a distilled spirit that is quite like ouzo, but a good bit stronger. The routine in an ouzeri is to order a round of tsipouro followed by a round of mezedes (tasty snack food) and keep repeating the process.

Pelion has everything that one could possibly need for relaxing and peaceful vacations in Greece. This is not to say that Pelion has no fun or entertainment - quite the opposite. Bars, cafes, tavernas, hiking, horse riding, water and winter sports and many others, will provide all of the enjoyment and entertainment you will need.

Thessaly Tourist Information Guide helps make your holiday in Greece spectacular. From the Valley of Thessaly, to Trikeri Island, to the peaks of Meteora you will not be disappointed. Horseback riding in Thessaly is fantastic, and in the background will be a monastery perched precariously on a cliff. A Lake Plastiras tour is in order followed by healing in Smokovo Springs. A trip to Agriolefkes ski resort will put your head in the clouds and a sip of tsipouro may just do the same.
