# Route 4: Zaholi – Sarantapiho – Head back to Karya – Upper Trikala

Welcome from the green and historic Evrostina (or Zaholi, as we also call it)! Your journey begins with an initial stop at the enchanting “Mills' Creek” or “Rema ton Mylon”, as per its Greek naming. Here is where you can savor traditional sweets that will delight your palate.

Once you've had your fill of these enthralling scenes, head into Sarantapicho. Leave your car by the main church, which is the first one you will see when you arrive in the village. Your journey into nature has now begun! Lose yourself on meandering trails, be in awe of soaring trees and stately firs, investigate antique lodges and deserted airstrips, and find secret coves that are all filled with bubbling streams.

The historic village of Karya is the next stop on your tour. This is the location of two churches, one a stately architectural marvel and the other a modest relic of tradition. Wander around the beautiful bell tower, which is situated outside the charming “Chapel of Death”, and sample some of the region's specialties, which are well-known for their delicious roasts. Finish your tour with a cup of coffee at one of the village's great inns, then take a leisurely stroll through the breathtaking scenery.

Return to your vehicle and make your way to Upper Trikala (Ano Trikala), where you can walk through history itself. Trikala boasts a treasure trove of attractions waiting for you to discover!
