For those wishing to retreat, Trikala - built among the pine and fir tree forested slopes of Mount Cyllene (Ziria) - is one of the prefecture’s most popular mountain resorts, ideal for skiing, hiking and off-road trips. During summer time, the woods close to the ski center host the Ziria Music Festival, which is currently in its sixth edition.
Ancient ruins can be visited at ancient Feneos, where one can see the relics of the temple of Asclepius and a section of the acropolis’ fortifications. The highland town of Feneos is also known for the artificial lake Doxa.
