Ano Trikala

By car:

Via the Athens - Corinth National motorway, when you reach the 119th km take the exit towards Xylokastro.

Upper Trikala is located 26.9km from Xylokastro and one can travel the distance in about 35min.

The district of Upper Trikala was the seat of the noble Notaras family that was established in Trikala at the end of the 15th century or at the beginning of the 16th century.

It was an affluent village, inhabited by a number of other prominent families. Also known as archondomachalas (‘princely district’), during the Turkish occupation it had many beautiful buildings and quite a few high towers with steel doors, very few of which exist today.
