AGIOS PROKOPIOS (Village) TRIKALA
Agios Prokopios is a small community of cattle-breeders (100 inhabitants
in the winter and 250 during summertime) in an altitude of 620 m. in the wooded
slopes of Koziakas, among the crowns Drampala (1.298 m.), Dimitraki (1.300 m.)
and Diamandi (1.680 m.) under the famous homonymous monastery and above the dam
of the river Dramizioti, with the watermill of the 1880 next to it. From the top
of Drampala, we face the lake of Plastiras, the Thessalian plain and the castle
of Fanari.
In the sources Tzjom, Mana, Fteri, Kanalako, Megakampo and Pergina
of Padi plateau, are often seen roe deers, wolves, foxes, ferrets and some time
bears.
From the big monastery of Agios Prokopios of the 18th century, which
was extended in an area of 48 acres above the village, the only thing that remained
afterwards its demolition in 1960, is ruins. In 1986 the temple of Ag. Prokopios
went up from pedestals. Along with Agjos Prokopios, the name of a Saint is connected,
Kosmas the Aitolos and that of a thief, Gioulas. The village celebrates the memory
of Agios Prokopios on July 8, with dixies and folk revelry that follow the service.

AGIOS VISSARION (Village) TRIKALA
In the historical community of Agiou Vissariona (230 m. el.) we arrive
either by following the street that leads to that from Filyra,
through a most beautiful meadow, or from the side of Pyli's
that is hardly two kilometres far. The village owes his old name "Dousiko" in
an endemic of the place species of oak with the (slavic) name Dousko or Douskari.
The first resident of the village appears registered in the community's
male records since 1832, when it was under Douskar's courthouse. Dousiko,
built near the Portaikos river, has very healthy climate, which its 1.100 residents
enjoy (in the winter - they are increased to 1280 in the summertime), farmers
and cattle-breeders, but also "petrades" (builders of the stone) - and
along with them the seasonal visitors. In a small distance from the village is
found the forest "Lakka of Stefani's" and the breeding area of preys
of Koziaka.
The nearest crowns of Koziaka
are Krania (1.100 m.) and Fourketsa (500 m.). A watermill, Nizeros, is saved 2
km from the village as well as the fountains Psilles Vrises, Giannaki Vrisi and
Gabriel Vrisi. The latter is connected with the village with an old path, in all
the length of which one meets stone manufactures. Beautiful area for relaxation,
where the residents go at the 1st of May, is the meadow Dara.
The village was connected with the famous abbey of the Savior of the
Big Pylon, which is found in a distance of 5 km from there, going up in altitude
of 750 m. in the Koziaka's slopes. The monastery was re-established between 1527
- 1535 by Agjos Vissarionas, Larissa's
archbishop, when the Saint was exarch of Stagon.
In the place of the church that Agjos Vissarionas built with the help
of his brother Ignatios, it was built on pedestals in 1557 the today's catholic
of the abbey from Larissa's Metropolite Neofyto the 2nd and the bishops of Dimitriados
Joseph, Litza Louka and Torch Torture (as the ktitoric sign witnesses). The catholic,
which is honoured in the name of Metamorphosis of the Savior, follows the mount
athos type of cruciate four - pillar, with two (today) domes and slots in its
northern and southern side. Its hagiography was done by a painter from Constantinople,
Georgy. The woodcut temple is ulterior, in 1813. The once rich monastery with
the 365 cells and the rich library, which became an intellectual centre of the
newer Hellenism, functions today with few monks that look after its heirlooms.
Among them are also the saint's scull, the will with his autographic signature,
the stick and the vestments of Agios Vissarionas.
The grave of the Saint is saved in the Community cemetery, while in
the village the local show the place of his house and the monastery dependency
of the abbey. In 1823 the monastery was destroyed and the 2000 volumes of its
library were burned by the Albanians of P. Kortzia. In 1943 the monastery suffered
new destructions from a fire. Agjos Vissarionas celebrates in the feast of Saint
Spirit and in the memory of the Saint from whom it took its current name, on 14
September. In Agiou Vissariona's Eve the residents of the village go up in the
monastery for adoration and spend all night there for the celebration of the Saint.

Fax: +30 24260 31328
Anilio village is the entry point of Mouresi
municipality for the visitor that follows the mountain road via Chania
peak. Hidden behind a slope, the village probably got its name "because in
winter the sun almost never catches it". (An-Ilio: where "Ilios" is "sun" in Greek)
Being a visitor in Anilio you should visit the small, scenic square
where the church of Agios Athanassios is located, a great ecclesiastic monument
with one of the best Baroque wood-engraved temples in Pelion area. Anilio is also
a place where a number of other well-known monasteries thrived during past times
(Holly Mary admittance, Agios Haralambos, The holly cross, Holly trinity).
According to local tradition, at the lower part of the village there
used to be the ancient city Achilleio,
founded by Homer?s hero "Achilles" himself. Centaur "Cheiron", the master of Achilles
and Hercules, used to rest inside the big cave located at the coast of "Banikas"!
Another beautiful beach with crystal clear waters and rich flora touching
the edge of the sand, is Plaka
beach. Besides the tourist services, great credit is given to the local women?s
agricultural cooperative, which promotes the land through traditional homemade
fruit-sweets and drinks.

ARMATOLIKO (Village) TRIKALA
Just after Mesohora
we find ourselves at the boundaries of the extended community of Neraida. We scramble
on the slopes of the SW mountain range of Pindos
form a rather good road and in an altitude of 850 m, the first village is distinguished,
Armatoliko. Its old naming was Mpoukouro or Mpokori which in Turk means "beautiful
place", in Rumanian "Shepherd's village" and in Slavic "vociferous place" from
the din of Acheloos.
The old village, built on the location Ampelia, was destroyed probably
during the 12th century from the Crusaders. Other reasons of destruction were
the raids of the Slavs or the earthquakes. During the Ottoman domination individuals
or groups that were on the run by the Turks, left Thessaly - Epirus - Aitoloakarnania
and found shelter in the today's village.
Today Armatoliko, near the National road of Trikala
- Arta, is a live
village that is inhabited both in winter and summer and where Primary School works
the whole year time. The village has respective prospects of development as through
the whole length will be washed by the waters of the lake, which will be formed
by the dam of the area. Among the sights of the village, besides the unique view,
is the small church of Agios Athanasios.
There are five more churches: Panagia, Agios Konstantinos, Agioi Pantes,
Agios Fanourios and the big church of Agios Georgios in the square of the village.
This square is spacious and with great view, cafes, playground. Near the square
there is the watermill which was transferred there afterwards the construction
of the pre-dam and the level rising of Acheloos.
Every year at the village, are celebrated traditionally the standard
revelries on the 15th of August, the day of the Easter and a small event on the
name day of Agios Athanasios.
