PINDOS.
Not far away from Trikala, Pyli and Kalambaka, Pindos is the most
imposing Greek mountain, that gets dressed with different colours
every season. Well-known villages are spread all around, rooted
on the evergreen mountain sides and near the innumerable springs
of the tributaries of Acheloos and Pineios. All of them are beautiful,
picturesque, traditional, hospitable and are connected with recently
constructed roads, through indescribable natural landscapes: Elati,
Pertouli, Neraidochori, Kastania, all the villages of Aspropotamo,
villages of Mesochora and Chasia. They all have modern and traditional
hotels, lodgings and rooms fully equipped for all times. They always
provide you with local cheese, meat, vegetables, fruits, wine and
ouzo, envied for their excellent quality. Their visitors get the
chance to enjoy there a long holiday or an excursion.

In
summer time, Pindos becomes a huge resort. Its visitors enjoy
the cool climate, the fresh air, the cold water of the springs,
the traditional feasts and "panigyria" (religious fests),
the unrepeatable natural beauties. On Pertouli, there are many
opportunities for fishing in Acheloos, riding, mountain cycling
and air athletics; walking on every mountain, hike in the shadowy
paths of Koziakas with the organised resorts and the view of
the Thessalic plain. People go climbing on Avgo, Marosa, every
peak, steep gorge and imposing rock, and lead their kayaks in
the violent waters of Aspropotamos, Acheloos, Pineos, Portaikos.
There is plenty of snow in the winter time and the visitors enjoy
its beauty. They ski and walk in the frozen pista of Pertouli,
under the blue sky, enjoying also the view from the inside of
their warm resort. On Koziakas, one can find the most remarkable
organised hunting area with systematic breeding of games. Whenever
the hunting period comes, hunters from all four corners of Greece
and abroad arrive here and run up and down on every slope and
gorge.
