Larissa (Greek: Λάρισα, L?risa) is the capital city of the Thessaly periphery of Greece, and capital of the Larissa Prefecture. It is a main agricultural centre and a transportation hub, linked by rail with the port of Volos and with Thessaloniki (Salonika) and Athens. The dominance of agriculture has made Larissa one of the main bulwarks of the Greek Communist Party.
