Ampelakia, the village that dyed Europe red
Above Tempi, Ampelakia sent red yarn as far as Vienna in the 18th century. The Schwartz mansion still recalls that time.

Tempi, the gorge between Mount Olympus and Mount Kissavos
Ten kilometres of gorge, the Pineios river, Agia Paraskevi and the suspension bridge. The Vale of Tempi beyond the motorway.

The First Ancient Theatre of Larissa: the heart of the city back in the light
For centuries it lay buried under houses and streets. Today its marble auditorium stands again in the middle of the city, looking back at it.

The Second Ancient Theatre: Larissa's other theatre
Smaller and less known, hidden among apartment blocks. From above, its semicircle looks like a footprint in the grass.

The Pineios: the river that made the plain
From the Pindus to the Vale of Tempe, the Pineios crosses Thessaly and flows through Larissa. A river that is landscape, myth and daily life at once.
