Elati: a cosmopolitan mountain town in Thessaly

Description

Heading up the west side of the mountain, amid a lush landscape of planes and firs, with a view of the river and the little villages across the way, you’ll soon arrive at the beautiful, picturesque village of Elati, at an altitude of 950m. It’s the largest of the alpine villages in this region, and one of the destinations in Greece with a tourist infrastructure fully-equipped for all four seasons. It is the primary ‘passage’ for dozens of journeys in Thessaly, whether they be asphalt expeditions, hiking trails or walking paths through the forest. It’s no coincidence that Elati is the destination of choice for alpine adventurers.
