on the way to Kalambaka, Greece We went into Lamia, the second largest city in Greece. It is in the area from where Achilles came. It has a fortress built in the 14th century AD. The average annual rainfall here is 100 milliliters. Over the mountains to the almost circular plane of Thessaly, which used to be a great lake and is now drained by the river Tempe. The plane of Thessaly is the most fertile area of Greece. In winter it grows wheat. In summer it grows primarily cotton and sugar beets.
