Let’s travel to the village Pyli of Trikala, one of the most picturesque villages of Thessaly region, which is the “gate” the will introduce you to the sheer beauty of the nature. Only 18 km away from the city of Trikala on the way to Arta, Pyli is built on the banks of Portaikos river, among Koziakas and Itamos mountains, and it is the passage to the mountainous region of Pindos. With lush vegetation, rare flora and fauna and running waters, Pyli will make you feel that you are part of the nature.

In Pyli you will admire a stone arched bridge, the second largest arch bridge in Thessaly, that you will capture with dozens clicks on your camera. The bridge, built in 1514 by St. Bessarion, connects Itamos with Koziakas mountains and once used to be the only passage to Trikala. In the village you will also admire great Byzantine and post-Byzantine monuments such as the Porta-Panagia monastery and the Dousikou monastery also built by St. Bessarion.

Pyli also leads you to the “Snow White” of Thessaly, Elati and the magnificent Pertouli, two beautiful destinations on Trikala region that seem like a fairytale with elves and fairies.
