2.  Larissa is the capital and largest city of
the Thessaly region, the fifth most populous
in Greece and capital of the Larissa regional unit.

3. For Larissa it is the umbilical cord with its brilliant past, as it is
one of the few and the remains that have survived to these
days. It was dedicated to the god Dionysus and according to
archaeologists has nothing to envy in importance, capacity
and quality from the Ancient Theater of Epidaurus

4. The Folklore Historical Museum of Larissa presents aspects of the
modern Greek civilization focusing on the area of Thessaly. The
time limits covering the material of his collections lie between the
16th century and the middle of the 20th century and mainly related
to the traditional culture of the region until its full industrialization
in the 1950s.

5. The Peneios river referred to in Latin sources as Peneus. It is
a river in Thessaly in Greece. The river is named after the god Peneus. It
flows from the Pindus mountains and empties into the Aegean Sea,
northeast of Vale of Tempe, near Stomio. It creates a large delta, well
known for its beauty and for many animal species, protected by
international environmental treaties

6.  The magnificent Ancient Theater of Larissa was constructed in the first
half of the 3rd century BC on the southern foothills of the Fortress Hill,
where the fortified Acropolis of the ancient city was located. It operated
until the end of the 3rd century or the beginning of the 4th AD. An
earthquake in the late 2nd or early 3rd centuries AD destroyed the second
floor of the stage, the Doric entablature and part of the supreme epithet. A
second powerful earthquake of the 7th century AD almost totally
destroyed.
