Foul moon hiking Artemisio mount

One day hiking in Artemisio under the light of the Moon. A special activity in unique Nafplio. With the summer mood, our program begins with a meeting in the picturesque alleys of the old town of Nafplio and with a hiking mood we will head from the single path of Arvanitia to the excellence of Karathona.

Programm

The Foul moon hiking Artemisio mount programm start to Bathing, relaxing, sleeping, resting and recharging batteries for the lunch hours on the enchanting beach of Karathona. We collect our things and leave for the village of Karya – Kolokotronitsi and go for a summit climb to the pyramid of Mount Artemision. Its highest peak is called Malevos and has an altitude of 1,771 meters. The path starts through the village, crosses the roads and leads us to a dirt road, at the end of which the path splits into two different routes, the left one goes up to the top by a path with little exposure.

The right takes us to the top crossing the combs, a rocky path, with great exposure to the void. We will start our route a little outside the village and in the direction of the scallops we will climb to the top of the mountain, in order to see the sunset covering the Argolic gulf. Afterwards and with the moon and our flashlights in company we will take the way back.

Activities point

Artemisio Mountain  is a rocky summit situated between Arkadia & Argolida in the Peloponnese region of Greece. It is directly connected with the Ktenias  to the South through its extended ridge; it is also considered connected to Lurkeio to the North. The summit is located just above the village of Karya and rises prominently above the treeline at approx. 1300m. The orientation of the peaks ridge is North to South with the primary trail tackling the South face (see left).

According to the ancient Greek geographer, Pausanias at the summit there used to be located a shrine of the goddess Artemis, which was said to be surrounded by evergreen trees, however, those were progressively cut and today the summit is just rock.
The mountain is also known as a significant area for bird migration and is passed through by the central Athens to Tripoli highway.

While one of the shorter major summits in the Peloponnese, it provides excellent views to the East into the Aegean Sea and is a beautifully exposed and prominent objective. Its location is only 1:45 hours from Athens and easy trailhead access makes it even more worthwhile.
