Thessalian Plain Turns into Brown Sea as Pineios River Overflows

A vast expanse of the Thessalian plain—between Larissa and Trikala—has transformed into an endless muddy lake following intense rainfall. The Pineios River overflowed, triggering widespread flooding. Drone footage by Orange reveals the disaster’s scale: from Piniaida to Kouchohero, the river burst its banks, creating an uncontrolled ‘brown sea’ covering thousands of stremmata. Farmlands lie submerged; crops and trees are buried under sludge, raising alarm among local producers.
