Trapezous is situated at the foot of Mount Pelion, a mountain range that is part of the Pindus Mountains. The town is also located near the Pagasetic Gulf, a small gulf of the Aegean Sea.

The town's name is derived from the Greek word "trapezous," which means "table" or "bench," referring to the flat terrain on which the town is built.
