Holidays in Desi

Got a nasty case of the travel bug? Relax — we've got the perfect cure. Book a trip to Desi and you'll be better in no time!

The nation's capital city, Athens, lies 270 kilometres to the southeast of Desi.

Keep your eyes peeled for seashells to collect or try to spot small animals like seabirds and crabs at Sarakiniko Beach and Valtos Beach. You'll find these popular shorelines 95 kilometres and 90 kilometres away, respectively.

Everyone knows that spending time outside is good for you. Keeping that in mind, why don't you venture 30 kilometres out of Desi to Theopetra Cave? Perama Cave, just 45 kilometres away, is another recommended choice.

Feel the ice-cold wind whiz past as you shred your way back to base at Velouchi Ski Resort. If you're a real powder fiend, make your way to Anilio Ski Center.

How do you like the sound of Kipina Monastery and Theodoros Papagiannis Musem of Contemporary Art? These attractions are in North Tzoumerka, just 25 kilometres west of Desi. Or perhaps Meteora and Monastery of Agia Triada are more your thing? To visit them, head to Kalambaka, 25 kilometres to the northeast.

Take a day trip and see what's on offer in Metsovo. This place is 30 kilometres away and quite close to the Averoff Gallery, Politsies Ski Center and Agios Nikolaos Monastery. That said, you shouldn't forget about Karakoli Ski Center and Moni Agiou Nikolaou either.

Your eyes shouldn't have all the fun while you're in Trikala. Give your taste buds a little TLC too by digging into some of the local food and drink. After all, you haven't really experienced a destination until you've tasted its flavours.

Once you grab a seat and browse a menu at a restaurant, you'll quickly discover that chicken and pork are a couple of ingredients commonly found in dishes here.

Of course, you can't go to Desi without sampling a plate of moussaka (minced meat and aubergine casserole) or dolmades (vine leaves stuffed with rice). Popular with the locals and considered signature dishes, they are an essential experience for any food-obsessed traveller.

You might be eating your way into elastic-waisted trousers, but loukoumades (deep fried pastry with honey) is worth every single calorie. This favourite dessert will put your taste buds into overdrive at the very sight of it.

Is there anything more pleasurable than throwing back an ice-cold beer with a perfect foam head? Quench your thirst and mingle with a few locals over a round or two of Neda.

Watch out for Savatiano Retsina and Nemea Agiorgitiko on the wine lists. They're well-known local specialities for both connoisseurs and novices alike.

"Ta léme argótera" doesn't have to mean farewell for good. Why not hold onto a few European euros for when you come back?

Would you like to know where the nearest airport is? Well, it's Macedonia Airport (SKG) and you can find it 170 kilometres to the northeast.
