Magnesia is located on the southeastern part of Thessaly.

It borders to the north-northwest with Larissa and in the south-southeast with the region of Fthiotida, while all other sides are surrounded by sea (Aegean Sea, Pagasitikos Gulf). Magnesia has a very special shape, resembling a horseshoe from above, as the beautiful Pagasitic Gulf penetrates its land. This element combined with Pelion that is one of the most beautiful mountains in Greece, make Magnesia so attractive and such a top tourist destination.

The Capital of Magnesia is Volos with a population that reaches the 150,000 residents. Almyros and Nea Anchialos are the largest towns of the region, but one has to explore each of the amazing small villages of Pelion. Makrinitsa, Portaria, Zagora, Tsagarada, Milies and many more are excellent tourist destinations, both during winter and summer. This is because Magnesia is an area that combines land and sea in the most ideal way. The mountain of Pelion and its picturesque villages become one with the beautiful beaches in the Pagasitikos bay and the shores bordering the Aegean Sea. In this way, the visitor is more than satisfied, no matter his preferences or the time of the year. Of course, the climate in the region follows the same pattern, being Mediterranean on the coast and cooler on the mountain.
