Greek Language School in Larissa
The Best Place To Learn Greek in Greece!

Larissa, the capital of Thessaly, lies atop a site that has been inhabited since the tenth millennium before Christ. A major commercial and industrial center, Larissa sits in the middle of the plain of Thessaly, a few kilometers off the Athens-Thessaloniki National Road. Hippocrates, the Father of Medicine, died here. The Pinios River flowing through the town and the old mansions with their spacious courtyards and luxuriant gardens give Larissa a charm all its own.
