- Thessaly - Pick up from your accommodation in Athens, and travel through Central Greece and Thessaly. Thessaly is a traditional geographic and modern administrative region of Greece, comprising most of the ancient region of the same name. Before the Greek Dark Ages, Thessaly was known as Aeolia and appears thus in Homer’s Odyssey. Thessaly is a region of sheer beauty with mountains, rivers, beaches, the popular Plastira Lake, Tempi valley, and last but not least the unique Meteora, the most photogenic spiritual site in Greece. Archeological areas, Byzantine monasteries and churches, traditional settlements, and ski resorts make it a popular holiday destination. According to Homer’s epic the Odyssey, Thessaly is the home to Achilles, and the hero Odysseus visited the kingdom of Aeolus, which was the old name for Thessaly. The Plain of Thessaly lies between Mount Oeta/Othrys and Mount Olympus.
