Bike Odyssey 2016 is refreshed! Apart from the last two villages-stations that have already been announced, are changing two more. Kastania of Trikala is replaced by Kalliroi of Trikala and Drakotrypa of Karditsa from Pyli of Trikala.
Kalliroi of Trikala
Mountain village of S. Pindos, at 1,040 m. between the peaks of Dahlia (1,500 m.), Kroutsia Paplou (1,700 m.) and Bournteni (1,750 m.), between Krania and Polythea. It is 60 km. away from Kalambaka. The approximately 200 residents (during the summer) engaged in logging (8,500 ha. forests with fir trees, pine trees and beech trees) and livestock. The natural environment remains unspoilt and this way has permitted the preservation of many wild animals in the forests such as deers, wolves, foxes, hares, bears and squirrels. The river of Kallirroi poured in Aspropotamos river is habitat for trout.

Pyli of Trikala
Pyli is one of the most picturesque villages of Prefecture of Trikala. It has a population about 1.850 inhabitants, in an altitude of 230 meters and it is 18 km away from Trikala. There resides and the homonymous Municipality of Pyli. Previously, the settlement was called Porta (it means gate), because of the location where it is built, at the entrance of the canyon that leads to the mountain villages of Pindos. Through the village flows the river Portaikos, which then poured into the Peneus river.
