Gonni

Built around a strategic fortified site above the approach to the Tempe Valley, Gonnoi grew into a Thessalian settlement beneath the slopes of Mount Olympus. The Pineios River passes through the nearby valley on its way to the Aegean, placing the village along one of northern Greece’s historic natural corridors. In antiquity, Gonnos was a city of Perrhaebia associated with the route linking Thessaly and Macedonia; its acropolis and surviving sections of defensive walls recall that role. Modern Gonnoi remains a small rural community in the Olympus foothills. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Thessaly and Central Greece.
