Giona (river)

Giona is a minor river located in the Thessaly region of Greece. It flows from the western slopes of Mount Othrys eastward, eventually emptying into the Pagasetic Gulf. The river's course is primarily through rural, agricultural land. It is not a particularly long or wide river and is primarily used for irrigation by local farmers. The name "Giona" may be linked to the nearby Mount Giona, though the etymological connection is not definitively established. The river's flow is subject to seasonal variations, with higher discharge during the wetter winter months and reduced flow during the drier summer months. It is not a navigable river.
