Municipality of Larissa
Industrial and commercial municipality on the rise: 353 more companies in a year. For its 164,095 residents it has few: restaurants, bakeries.
This month's picture · written by AI from the figures on this pageLarissa, in Thessaly, is a busy manufacturing and trade hub where metalwork, solar and renewable energy, veterinary clinics and nurseries are more plentiful than across Greece, and dental practices are the liveliest sector. Psychologists, physiotherapists, bakeries and patisseries are harder to find, while 582 openings against 229 closings over the past year reflect steady momentum.
