Giannitsou ( Greek: Γιαννιτσού) is a semi-mountainous village, altitude of ~300m above the sea level, in western Phthiotis/ Central Greece, with about 400 inhabitants. It is located north of Makrakomi and 36 km northwest of Lamia. After the recent reorganization of administrative divisions ( Kallikratis Plan) it is part of the municipality of Makrakomi. In walking distance from the village there is a pre- Ottoman-era settlement which is yet unexplored, called Lavanitsa. [2]
The local economy is based on agriculture, i.e. olives, wheat, grapes, wine, and livestock. Lately, after the renovation of Platystomo [3] hot-springs, which are only 4 km away, the area got a touristic perspective.
Although the village is not fully developed, the central square is framed by two traditional cafes and a grocery shop. In addition, in the village an active cultural institution [4] is based which organises several happenings around the year.
