University Forest of Pertouli: Discover yet another mountainous paradise in Trikala of Thessaly!

Pertouli village is one of the most popular mountain resorts in Greece located at the slopes of Mt. Koziakas at an altitude of 1.100 meters and at 40 km from Trikala. This mountainous paradise is characterized by picturesque stone houses, lush green mountains with fir forests, vast meadows and refreshing streams.

Pertouli village is surrounded by the University Forest of Pertouli which has a size of 33.000 acres and is a public space that belongs to the Greek Nation. The forest is dominated by fir trees with smaller areas of beech, oak, maple, juniper, linden, willow and other beautiful trees. The fauna of the area is also rich and consists of deer, rabbits, foxes, wolves and the brown bear. The bird species are also numerous and hunting is controlled to certain periods.

Within the University Forest of Pertouli there is a ski center which attracts an income for the area’s development without harming the environment. The area of ‘Ayia Kiriaki” is especially designated for picnics in nature and there are plans for the creation of a Forest Museum.
