Introducing Lamia
Lamia is the capital of the prefecture of Fthiotida, built in the foothills of Mt Orthys at the western end of the Maliakos Gulf. Lamia rarely figures on travellers’ itineraries, but it deserves a look-in. Like most towns that are not dependent on tourism for their livelihood, Lamia is a vibrant and lively place year- round. It is famous for its kokoretsi (grilled lamb offal), kourabiedes (almond shortcake) and xynogala (sour milk).
