Round out your day at the bustling central square, where you can people-watch, grab a coffee or pastry at one of the many cafes, or window-shop at the local boutiques. Check the schedule for any live musical or theatrical performances.
If you have more time, consider visiting the stunning Meteora monasteries, located just a short drive from Trikala.

If you have less time, skip Varousi Hill and head straight to lunch or the monastery.
