　　Thessaly, both a region of antiquity and a modern-day administrative unit, composes the heartland of central Greece. Within its bounds are incredible heritage sites such as the Greek and Roman theaters of Larissa and the clifftop monasteries of Meteora as well as the countrys loftiest peak, Mount Olympus, said to be home base for the Olympian gods.

　　Youll see some of Greeces most incredible historical monuments on this getaway to Thessaly, based in the Pindos Mountain resort town of Elati. On a guided excursion to Trikala, the bicycle city, youll stroll the old neighborhood of Varousi and the bustling main drag of Asklipiou Street; visit remarkable monuments such as the 16th-century Kursum Mosque, the medieval-era fortress and its clock tower, and the Asclepeion of Ancient Trikki; wander up Prophet Ilias Hill to the zoo, which houses tigers, ostriches, iguanas, and other exotic animals; and wind down your sightseeing along the Litheos River. Another guided trip brings you to one of the countrys most famous sites: the Meteora Monasteries, another UNESCO site featuring a collection of Greek Orthodox monasteries perched on otherworldly sandstone knobs.
