A bit about Thessaly, Greece…
Thessaly is a region in central Greece known for its rich history, natural beauty, and significant archaeological sites. Thessaly is bordered by Macedonia to the north, Epirus to the west, Central Greece to the south, and the Aegean Sea to the east. The region is characterized by a central plain, known as the Thessalian Plain, which is surrounded by mountains. The Pineios River flows through this plain.
Thessaly has been inhabited since prehistoric times and played a significant role in ancient Greek history. The region was known for its horse breeding, and Thessalian cavalry was renowned throughout the ancient world.
The climate in Thessaly is a continental climate, with cold winters and hot summers. The average annual temperature is 57 degrees Fahrenheit (14 degrees Celsius). The wettest months are December and January when the average precipitation is about 4 inches (10 cm). The driest months are July and August when the average precipitation is about 1 inch (2.5 cm).
