Send Flowers to Larissa, Greece

Set in the middle of the Thessalian plain, Larissa is the farming capital of Greece and one of its most liveable cities, with a large pedestrian centre built around Kentriki Square and Tachydromeiou Square. The Pineios river curves past the hill of the Frourio, where an ancient theatre was uncovered among the modern buildings. Most people live in apartment blocks within a short walk or cycle of the centre, and the medical school of the University of Thessaly and the university hospital on the outskirts draw students, doctors and patients from the whole region.

Larissa is known for extremes of weather: summers on the plain are among the hottest in the country and winters can be foggy and cold. Florists adapt, leaning on hardy stems in August and on richer seasonal colour in spring and autumn. The city's patron, Saint Achillios, is celebrated on 15 May, a local feast and the name day of every Achilleas.

Flower delivery in Larissa follows the same rule as the rest of Greece: order before midnight local time and a local florist delivers the next day, Monday to Saturday, with no deliveries on Sundays or main public holidays. Relatives abroad often send flowers here for name days, new babies and hospital stays, and a mobile number helps the florist time the visit.
