Trikala, in the region of Thessaly has earned its title as the leading winter destination in Greece as it offers spectacular nature, boutique accommodation, endless outdoor activities, buzzing nightlife and an array of attractions close by.
During the festive season it is now famous for the “Mill of Elves,” which used to be a water mill entirely built of stone and named Matsopoulos Mill. Every Christmas, since 2011 this building is now transformed into a festive toy and confectionery factory, where Santa Claus and his Elves welcome guests from near and far, turning the space into a magical kingdom.
From November to January each year, visitors can experience what has become Greece’s largest Christmas theme park and they are expecting possibly close to 1 million visitors coming through. Every day during this time- morning and night- spaces are open for free for visitors to enjoy.
For 43 entire days you will find a huge Fun Park with rides, Christmas stores with lots of ornaments, food stall with a variety of traditional dishes and delicacies from Trikala and a Candy store with lots of delicious sweets.
“Mill of Elves” is jam packed with places where kids can also paint, bake, see how chocolate is made, taste sweets, take photos with Santa and his elves and taste traditional cookies. There is also a red carousel, a train, a pool, and many more special activities taking place.
