Excursion Itinerary

We depart at 07:00 from Chalkida, where we make a brief stop for a necessary coffee and rest before arriving at the Monastery of Saint Athanasios Omvriaki in Domokos. This is a Byzantine-style church decorated in the Byzantine system. Although the church has suffered significant damage in the past, it still stands out for its grandeur and the respect inspired by its interior. The narthex of the church, which depicts the second coming and other historical and religious events from the Bible, is of great interest, as are the frescoes of the interior, works of the painters George, George, and John from the village of Maurilos, as evidenced by the inscription above the entrance, inside the church. Free time for a pilgrimage.We then board a bus headed for Kalabaka, where we will enjoy our lunch. Check-in at the hotel. In the late afternoon, we will go on a night excursion to Trikala and, of course, to the Mill of the Elves. The most enchanting Christmas theme park, which is transformed into a fairytale world with elves, fir trees, Christmas markets, and activities. We will, of course, walk along the pedestrian street and by the river, where we will enjoy our wine and dinner! Return to the hotel and overnight stay.
After we have our breakfast and packed our bags, we depart for Meteora. The sight of the towering dark rocks is awe-inspiring. Nestled in the peaks and caves since the 11th century, the Meteora monasteries are located. Using ropes, nets, or their bare hands, the monks established a centuries-old tradition: climbing. Free time for a pilgrimage to the Monastery of St. Stephen, the closest to the town of Kalabaka and the most easily accessible. Founded by Antonio Kantakouzenos, the son of Despot of Epirus Nikephoros II, in 1400 AD.The monastery, in addition to the chapel of Saint Stephen, also has the chapel of Saint Charalambos, which houses his relics, believed to cure illnesses. We then depart for a final visit to Trikala, where we will also stay for lunch. Departure for Chalkida at 5:00 PM, filled with beautiful images and the scent of Christmas...!!!
