Trikala in Thessaly - Monasteries of Meteora
Thessaly is a historical landscape in northern Greece between Macedonia, Epeiros and Central Greece. Thessaly was once the settlement area of the tribe of Thessaloi.
It is bounded by the mountain ranges of Olympos in the north, the Pindos in the west, the Othrys in the south, and the Ossa in the east. In between, the fertile Thessalian plain stretches. The main rivers through the Thessalian plain are the Titarisios and the Pinios.
Trikala: Trikala is at the same location as the Homeric Trikka before, surmounted by a Byzantine fortress, which was built on a wooded hill overlooking the remains of an ancient acropolis. Homer mentions the city Trikka as the origin of Asklepios cult. In the region are also well known monasteries of Meteora!
