Thsi new thread it truly a historical one!!!! Today's Stomio was known for many decades (from 1860 to 1935) as Tsayezi. And as such it was serving as Larissa's natural port for ships coming to bring passengers in those trying days...
Here is a wonderful undated postcard from my collection

The subject of Tsayezi and Karitsa has been discussed already by Appia_1978 and me. See for example http://www.nautilia.gr/forum/showpost.php?p=204190&postcount=9

Πρόσφατα, έλαβα το βιβλίο "Austrian Post Offices Abroad - Part One" το οποίο διαπραγματεύεται την ιστορία των Αυτοκρατορικών Αυστριακών Ταχυδρομείων στη Ανατολική Μεσόγειο και τη Μέση Ανατολή. Περιέχει ορισμένες πολύτιμες για μας αναφορές, σχετικά με τα πρώτα τακτικά δρομολόγια προς το Ιόνιο και την Ελλάδα από το Αυστριακό Lloyd!

In the late 1800s, the port of Larissa was Tsayezi, today's Stomio just south of Tempe. [See for example, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stomio,_Larissa] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stomio,_Larissa%5D). The port is referred a lot in late 1800s documents. For example, this small port was used by clandestine Greek and Greek-Cretan forces that were entering Macedonia in the Macedonian Struggle of 1904-06 and is mentioned often in a book that I am reading now: O Makedonikos Agon kai ta eis Thrakin Gegonota, Ekdosis Dieu0unseos Istorias Stratou, Athens, 1979 (in Greek).
But what you discovered as Carizza is today's Karitsa, about 5 km SE of Tsayezi, a truly natural port for Larissa back in those days... See map below.

Here is a small entry from the 1892 Baedeker Guide that mentions Tsayezi as a Larissa port with "regular communication" with Thessaloniki
