Introducing Larisa
Larisa is a major transport and service hub for the vast agricultural plain of Thessaly. Despite its workaday feel, it is a vibrant university town, as the bustling cafeterias around Plateia Makariou testify. Larisa is also home to an important military air base. Perhaps because Larisa can heat up in the summertime, as any Greek will tell you, there is a hopeful sign on the outskirts pointing to the ‘Beach of Larisa’, a mere 40km away.

Larisa has been inhabited for over 8000 years, and its fascinating past is only gradually being revealed. An ongoing archaeological excavation of a 3rd-century ancient theatre in the city centre, near the corner of Papanastasiou and Eleftheriou Venizelou, has yet to be opened to the public.
