Thessaly. The region of Thessaly occupies much of east-central Greece between the Pindos Mountains and the Aegean Sea. The fertile and river-fed Thessalian plain supported one of the earliest Neolithic settlements on the continent. Today it boasts two of Greece’s most extraordinary natural phenomena: the lofty, monastery-capped rock pinnacles of Meteora, and the lush Pelion Peninsula. Located at Gefyraki Area, Marathopoli, 24400, Greece, Esperides is the ideal starting point to explore the mountains and alpine meadows or the outstanding eateries, nightlife and culture of Thessaly.
