 Bee bot travel to Greece

Linda the bee bot, was a robot who wanted to travel a lot and to meet new friends !

                            Hello! My name is Linda and i love to travel !

                            Do you think that is time for a new trip?

                             Let's start it!

She decided to start this trip from Greece and the beautiful city of Trikala. Her trip just has begun!

                                           Wow! What Impressive bridge!

During her walk to the city of Trikala which be crossed by Lithaios river, tributary of Pineios, she saw a big bridge in the center of the city over the river of The bridge was so beautiful ,made by iron and had lot of different lights at the night.

Wanted to learn more about the central bridge of Trikala city ,she learned that is a very old bridge ,made by French engineers at 1888 that edited design, study and construction, apparently inspired by the bridges of the Seine. 

The minerals were shipped from France and it is an architectural jewel and a symbolic bridge.

The central pedestrian bridge of Trikala is the main connecting point of new and old city.

Nowadays the bridge  is a place for rest and a pole of attraction for visitors.

Next stop was the castle of Trikala that located at the north-eastern side of the town. It was built by the Emperor Justinian (6th century) in the place of the ancient acropolis of Trikki. 

Around the castle is the old city of Trikala, Varusi, where there are old buildings  built between 17th and 19th century, with a uniform architecture. Here are located some of the best restaurants, coffee 

shops, and bars in town. So Linda decided to visited this  beautiful neighborhood !And she was  really excited!

Next stop was the  railway station of city. Another very old and beautiful building !Perfect way to travel by train ,Linda thought. 

Time to visit the old Kursum Mosque an Ottoman mosque, a  building  from period 1550–60, most likely in the late 1550s

But how could we miss visiting Meteora? The giant rocks of  Meteora, created 60  million years ago, over the town of Kalambaka  are unique in all over the world. 

Metéora is included on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Linda really enjoyed her visiting there 

In the region around of Trikala there are lot of arced bridges and Linda decides to visited the bridge of Paleokaria with the water fall.Next stop

the arched bridge of Pili, which is  a classic example of stonemasonry of the area. This arched bridge was built in 1514 by St. Vissarion and up to 1936 was the only link between the plain of Thessaly and the villages of Pindos. 

One more important  sight  of the region is Theopetra Cave 

and Linda could not miss it! 

This cave is located in the chalky hill of Theopetra village, 4km away from Kalabaka. Research has proved that the cave has been inhabited from the Middle Paleolithic period until the end of the Neolithic period. The cave findings give to it a scientific importance for the evolution of human beings. 

This unique cave with its great location, its superb access to fresh clean water and its vantage point, served like a magnet for early inhabitants who could recognize from miles away such key advantages. So those early human settlers used it continuously for more than 130.000 years.

Around the region there are also lot of monasteries and churches. 

One of them is the old church of Porta Panagia

After this church Linda visited the monastery of Doliana ,a monastery with special  architecture  having 13 domes !

The  Prefecture of Trikala is a natural and historic monument  and can be characterized as one of the most developed areas culturally and touristically.

Is the place where myths were born, where experiences never end... 

Is a place dotted with unique, invaluable historical monuments.

A visitor has endless choices, from the rocks and monasteries of Meteora, Byzantine churches and the monasteries of the local villages, castles and ancient theatres to the arched bridges of this region. 

Before she departure from Trikala Linda thought to visit the Kindergarten of Rιzario! She heard that in this school  there are some robots like her and she wanted to meet them !

Linda departed from Trikala  and travel to  many places of Greece and saw lot of ancient places  and  the Acropolis of Athens  too !

When Linda ,the bee bot saw a plane flying in the sky she remembered that she could also travel to France and meet some friends there! 

Linda went to Athens airport and departure to France!
