Are these Tolkien’s Elvish lands? No, its beautiful Karditsa (stunning photos)

Visit Anthochori, the ‘Blossoming Village’ of Central Greece

Explore majestic nature with the wildness of high mountains and hidden trails, with arched bridges spanning fast-flowing rivers, stone-banked gorges among plane trees, and with lofty waterfalls to spill into cold, clear pools. Add to this authentic traditional food and an amazing hotel destination: Anthochori is a place you will want to keep returning to throughout the year.

To reach the village from Athens or the south, head for Karditsa and continue on towards Mouzaki. Passing the narrow Pamisos river crossing, follow the road upwards towards the village of Kriopigi (former name Zeretsi) and after 2 km you will reach Anthochori, previously known as Floretsi.

Anthochori is a picturesque, charming, mountain village that the Anthochoritis river crosses through, and it has many well-kept stone houses. The interesting church of Agios Georgios, built in 1623 and renovated in 1717, is in the village square, and a bit further away from the church of Agia Paraskevi which was built in 1887.
