Small Boutique hotels in THESSALY

In peninsular Greece, Thessaly is a region that summarizes the beauty of the coast and the sea, with splendid mountainous landscapes, lush forests and peaceful plains. Landscape and culture merge in iconic places like the monasteries of Meteora, which seem to arise directly from the huge boulders where they are settled. Some are still occupied and in use, currently six of the some twenty that were built during the fifteenth century.

The capital, Larissa, houses the second largest ancient theater in Greece from the 3rd century BC. Here lived Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine. Immersed in an agricultural plain of fertile lands and washed by the Peneo River, it has magnificent beaches.

Near the port city of Volos, the legendary Mount Pelion is the country of the centaurs, which Greek mythology describes as half men half horses. Large mansions in Miliés and Vizitsa evoke a glorious past. Descending towards the coast, the sandy beaches of Pelion with huge rocks sculpted by a sea of ​​turquoise and marine waters is overpowering. The coastal towns, Agios Ioánnis and Milopótamos, are ideal for tasting both fresh fish and the Greek specialty of charcoal-roasted lamb.

Off the coast, the Espóradas Islands emerge as a relaxing paradise, where you will find charming hotels.
