Camera online Trikala. Fortress
Nestled in the northwestern Thessaly plain, Trikala is a colorful place that combines all the best that Greece has to offer: a deep connection with mythology, a rich history, versatile architecture and beautiful natural landscapes.
Trikala lies 331 kilometers northwest of the capital Athens and 215 kilometers southwest of Thessaloniki, the second largest city of the country. Here, as in most other ancient Greek cities, antiquity is tightly interwoven with modernity, leaving the impression of traveling back in time.
The religious monuments from the ancient times peacefully coexist with the Orthodox shrines, and the colorful architecture of the Renaissance neighbors with the formidable fortresses of the Byzantine Empire and the late Middle Ages. At the same time, as if pointing to the perishability of all things human, right in the middle of Trikala, dividing the city into two parts, for many centuries, along the same channel flows Liteos - the mythological River of Summer or Oblivion.
