Almyros is barely referred to in the "Modern Geography", where it is described as being a mere "five hours" journey from Volos.

 SGF Résumé
In the case of the Almyros, the constant volume of expelled water indicates that sea-water intrusion occurs in a portion of the conduit situated several kilometres away from the spring (table Il), probably inland, with no subsequent sideways exchange in the part of the gallery leading up to the spring.
This flux varies in inverse proportion to the total flow rate in the high-flow period and the beginning of the low-flow period, thereby demonstrating that the salinity decrease in the spring is not simply a dilution effect (fig.
The Almyros spring is a particularly favorable for observing the exchanges in the conduit network for which it is the direct outlet but it is not representative of the surrounding area.

Almyros is a large town in southern Thessaly, oppressively hot in the summer, and a place not too far removed from the collective memory of those from the Albanian Vlach village of Pleasa.
In any case, Almyros is well worth a one-time visit for those who feel an emotional pull to it.
It is unquestionably more cheerful than Almyros about its Vlach identity, and most people in the village -- including the young -- speak the language without looking over their shoulders.

The 1980 Volos (Almyros) seismic sequence, the last of an unusual clustering of earthquakes with surface magnitude 6.0–7.0, which hit Thessaly (central Greece) between 1930 and 1980, is among the least studied recent earthquakes in Greece.
Repeated measurement of three first-order spirit leveling traverses crossing the meizoseismal area of the seismic sequence indicates that between 1970/1971 and 1988/1989 a subsidence of about 35 cm is observed at the Almyros Neogene-Quaternary graben.
The observed displacements are significant against random and systematic errors and can be assigned to the 1980 earthquake sequence.
