Vale of Tempi

Vale of Tempe near Larissa

The Vale of Tempe is the  name of a gorge between Mount Olympus

to the north and Volos to the south.

The valley is 10km long and as narrow as 25 meters with cliffs nearly 500 meters high.

Through the gorge flows the Pineios River on its way to the Aegean Sea. 

The Tempe Pass is a strategic pass in Greece as it is the main route from Larissa

 through the mountains to the coast.
