'''Magnesia''' ([[Greek language|Greek]]: Μαγνησία ''Magnisia''; see also [[List of traditional Greek place names]]), deriving from the [[Macedonia]]n tribe name ''[[Magnetes]]'', is the name of the southeastern area of [[Thessaly]] in central [[Greece]]. About two-thirds to three-fourths of the entire population live in the Greater [[Volos]] area which is the second-largest city in Thessaly. Much of the population live within the Pagasetic Gulf and the eastern part. Its area ranking is between [[Larisa prefecture]] and [[Chalkida]].

Homeland of the mythical heroes [[Jason]], [[Peleus]] and his son [[Achilles]].

The modern Magnesian capital is the city of [[Volos]], and the homonymous prefecture includes the [[Almyros]] plain, [[Nea Anchialos]] archaeological excavations, the [[Pagasetic Gulf]], the Mt. [[Pelion]] peninsula and the [[Sporades]] islands.

It is bounded by [[Phthiotis prefecture|Phthiotis]] in the southeast, and [[Larisa prefecture|Larisa]] in the west and north. The lagoon of [[Lake Voivis]] is to the north and is surrounded with farmlands to the west and mountains to the east. It is one of the prefectures that is bounded with only two prefectures.

Most of the settlements are in the western part of the Sporades, southeastern, central, northwestern and along within the Pagasetic Gulf.
