Magnesia (Greek: Μαγνησία, Magnisía, IPA: [maɣniˈsia], Ancient Greek: Magnēsía, deriving from the tribe name Magnetes) is one of the regional units of Greece. It is part of the region of Thessaly. Its capital is the city of Volos. About 70% of the population of Magnesia lives in the Greater Volos area, which is the second-largest city in Thessaly and the third busiest commercial port in Greece.
The regional unit hosts 2,000,000 tourists annually. Its main agricultural products are wheat, cotton, tomatoes, grapes, olives, apples and honey.
Ancient Greeks called "Magnesìa" the earthy form of Magnesite found in the area and "Magnìtis [=magnet] lithos" ("stone from Magnesia") the ore with magnetic properties found there, which was later named Magnetite.
