Built on the slopes of Mt Koziakas, the oblong mountain of the southern part of the Pindos, the picturesque villages of Elati and Pertouli are a major attraction of the wider area, not to mention a top winter destination throughout the country. 

In Pertouli you can also find a small but picturesque ski center.

 The imposing and beautiful bridge of Palaiokarya, with its two artificial waterfalls, stands there since the 16th century. It is a stone arched bridge with a length of 26 meters. The waterfall behind the bridge is 12 meters high and the water that falls creates a magnificent, awe-inspiring image. The river, passing through this point, is Palaiokaritis and if we continue our route we reach the canyon of Palaiokarya. 

At the roots of Pindos at the entrance of a majestic gorge, which is divided by the Portaikos river, between the mountains Itamos and Koziakas, dominates the beautiful Gate of the four bridges, of culture and tradition and the special homeland of Agios Vissarion.

The church of Porta Panagia, full name Panagia tis Portas ("Panagia of Porta"), is a Byzantine-era church near the village of Pyli, in the Trikala Prefecture in Greece.

The church, dedicated to the Dormition of the Theotokos, was originally the katholikon of a stauropegic monastery dedicated to the "Unconquerable Panagia", founded in 1283 by the ruler of Thessaly, the sebastokrator John I Doukas. An ancient temple was located on the site previously, with some column remnants surviving outside the exonarthex.
