Romantic evening walks on the banks of Lethaeos river, strolls along the picturesque narrow streets of Varousi, bike rides and tantalising dinners with the famous local products at traditional taverns. Trikala is a magical destination that simultaneously exudes a special mix of oriental and European aroma, without denying its originality. Having the city of Trikala as your base, you can go on unforgettable excursions to amazing destinations in a close distance, such as Meteora, Elati and Plastiras Lake.

Start your excursion in Trikala by checking in at the amazing member of Tresor Hotels & Resorts, Ananti City Resort. Its key location on a hillside and at the outskirts of the town of Trikala, accords it with uninhibited and awesome views to the glorious plains of Thessaly. Ananti City Resort is a modern, stylish and luxurious resort that will mainly appeal to its guests for its combination of contemporary facilities and indulgent services, alongside the unbeatable benefit of providing countless choices for outdoor activities. Ananti City Resort designates 18 rooms in total, 3 of which are suites. The majority of rooms yield stunning views for which the resort is actually known and appreciated, while their interior designs feature a widespread touch of minimalism and modernity.  

 Afterwards, take a stroll within the quarter of Varoussi to see the old Christian settlement during the Ottoman Era dating back to, mainly, the 17^th and 18^thcentury. As you exit the quarter of Varoussi, you will face the gate of the Frourio fortress, as well as the large Clock which constitutes the town’s trademark. Don’t miss the opportunity to take a stroll along the riverbanks, where couples in love enjoy the setting and where the true romantics gaze at the waters. Also, feel like you are in…Amsterdam by enjoying bikerides, as locals do.

Head at a mere 20 km distance from the town of Trikala in order to admire the unique geological phenomenon of the rocks of Meteora. The imposing complex of massive rocks were created through the process of erosion of a large conglomeration of large stones, sand and mud which was what was left behind after the waters of the massive Thessalic lagoon drained into the Aegean Sea centuries ago. Get some fresh air at the stunning Elati village, that, literally drenched in pines, resembles the scenery of a fairy tale with elves and fairies. Also, do not miss to visit the beautiful Plastiras Lake. Its rare beauty and impressive sights attracts thousands of visitors all year round. The area offers important sights, such as monasteries, a  botanical garden, caves and places that offer panoramic breathtaking views.

From July 10-12, escape in Trikala and Ananti City Resort. Enjoy a two night stay in a Suite with panoramic view with 420 euros.
