June 7, 2025

The "Hypereia Krini" (Fountain), an ancient spring, "the water loved by the gods" (Sophocles, Frg 825 N.), is located in the center of the ancient city of Ferai, which lies beneath the modern town of Velestino, where a small pond is formed along old plane trees. Ancient ruins are visible inside as well as outside the water.
Nearby is the temple of "Zeus Thaulios", one of the very few excavated ancient temples of Thessaly, on the north edge of the ancient city. It was a peripteral doric temple, with 6 X 6 columns, dated at the end of the 4th century B.C. Today, only the SE part of its krepis is preserved.
A building with stoa dated in the Hellenistic period has been revealed in the NE part of the ancient city, where the Agora probably was. The doric columns of the stoa are unfinished and the lower parts of them still remain "in situ".
