straight-line distances
Riza belongs to the line of small mountain settlements spread across the slopes above Xylokastro. It is one of the villages that keep their traditional shape: a handful of houses, a square, a church.
What you will find
Quiet, clean air and a view over the Corinthian Gulf. Around it run paths and forest tracks linking the neighbouring villages — ideal for walking in spring and autumn.
Practical notes
- Reached from Xylokastro.
- Minimal facilities; the nearest shops are in the larger villages.
- Combine it with Zemeno, Throfari and the drive up to Trikala.
