About the book

In the book “Reportage from the Plain – 99 True Stories from Larissa,” journalist Kostas Gkiastas brings together 20 years of reporting – mainly for the newspaper “Eleftheria” – recording situations full of politics, culture, soccer, travel, and “lumpen” characters, which capture the soul of the city with immediacy and vitality.

The publication is the result of collaboration between professionals from different fields, who contributed to the creation of a comprehensive work with a clear social message, as the proceeds from sales are donated to support the activities of the Larissa Cancer Patients Association.

It is published by Anemos Publications and has already received a significant response, traveling throughout Greece and abroad.
