The regional district Trikala ( Greek Periferiaki Enotita Trikalon , Aromanian Trikolj ) is one of the five regional districts of the Greek region of Thessaly with its seat in the city of Trikala . Until the Greek administrative reform in 2010 , the area had the status of a prefecture , which lost its powers to the region and the newly formed municipalities. Since then, the Trikala regional district has sent nine members to the regional council of Hessen, but has no further political significance as a local authority. Trikala includes the parishes of Farkadona , Kalambaka , Pyli and Trikala.
Among the most significant attractions in Trikala are the Meteora monasteries near Kalambaka, which are classified as World Heritage .
