Almyros (Greek: Αλμυρός, which means salty) is a town and a municipality of the regional unit of Magnesia, region of Thessaly, Greece. It lies in the center of prosperous fertile plain known as ‘Krokio Pedio’, which is crossed by torrents, and produces wheat, tobacco, and other crops. Almyros is an important agricultural and commercial center of Magnesia, and is also developing as a tourist center for the area. The main agricultural products are tomatoes, cottons, wheats and dried nuts, which are universally known for the excellent quality[citation needed].
The history of Almyros begins with the ancient city of Alos (about 10 km south of Almyros), the ruins of which can still be visited. Alos was a very important and populous town, famous for its port and for its role in the Persian Wars. After the Byzantine Empire, because of pirate raids, they built the town in the place that it is today.[citation needed] In 1838, the settlement was described as being “a Turkish town, situated on the western coast of the Pagasitic Gulf, half an hour’s journey inland, on the Plain of Krokios, and consisting of some 300 dwellings. It is chiefly inhabited by Turks, with only a few Christian settlers, who cultivate the lands of the Turks residing there”. The Ottoman Empire ceded most of Thessaly in 1881, followed by development and repopulation by Greeks.
