Giannitsou ( el, Γιαννιτσού) is a semi-mountainous village, altitude of ~300m above the sea level, in western Phthiotis/ Central Greece, with fewer than 300 inhabitants. It is located northern of Makrakomi and 36 km northwestern 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.
The local economy is based on agriculture, ''i.e.'' olives, wheat, grapes, wine, and livestock. Lately, after the renovation of Platystomo 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 http://politistikossylogosngiannitsous.blogspot.gr/ is based which organises several happenings around the year.
