Is a holiday rental in Thessaly worth it?
A holiday apartment in Thessaly offers you the perfect combination of independence and comfort. Enjoy Impressive nature, Excellent cuisine, First-class relaxation and experience Thessaly like a local – with your own retreat after an action-packed day.
Thessaly is a region of contrasts in central Greece, ranging from the vast Thessalian plain — the breadbasket of the country — to the breathtaking Meteora rocks and the lush Pelion peninsula. This diversity in a compact area makes Thessaly one of the most varied regions for travelers seeking more than just beaches and islands.
The Meteora monasteries, perched on massive sandstone pillars, are the undisputed highlight and one of the most visited UNESCO World Heritage sites in Greece. But Thessaly offers much more: The Pelion peninsula between Volos and the Aegean Sea is a green paradise with chestnut and beech forests, where traditional stone villages like Makrinitsa, Tsagarada, and Vizitsa overlook the Pagasetic Gulf as the "balcony of Pilion." The combination of mountain hiking and beach days at hidden coasts like Fakistra or Mylopotamos is unique.
Volos, the port city on the Pagasetic Gulf, is considered the culinary capital of Thessaly: The Tsipouradika (Tsipouro taverns) serve free meze plates with fresh fish and seafood with every glass of the aniseed spirit — a ritual not to be missed. Larissa, the capital of Thessaly, surprises with an ancient theater in the city center and a vibrant nightlife. The Tempi Gorge between Olympus and Ossa, the mythical Lake Karla, and the thermal springs of Smokovo complete the offerings. Thessaly is ideal for travelers who want to discover the unknown Greece away from the tourist trails.
