Thessaly is the heartland of mainland Greece, a vast fertile plain ringed by dramatic mountains that cradles some of the country's most extraordinary sights. The region is home to Meteora, where ancient monasteries perch impossibly atop towering sandstone rock pillars, and to the Pelion Peninsula, a forested mountain arm curving into the Aegean with traditional stone villages and secluded coves.
