Hiking Evritania
Evrytania is a magical place that you can visit in all months of the year, but it is usually more popular in winter.
The walks in Karpenisi and the nearby villages offer images straight out of a fairy tale.
Frozen lakes, centuries-old sycamore rivers and snow are the main
elements that we will have in this unique two-day stay in one of the most beautiful mountain refuges in Greece.
Morning departure on Saturday by minibus from the center of Athens with destination
a very beautiful path located in the beautiful Karpenissi. The Route is lined with firs and
cedars and has many points of interest such as arched bridges and water mills. the arched
bridge of the Karpenisiotis river and the historical monument of Markos Botsaris
who lost his life on August 9, 1823 in a battle against the Turks.
Sunday morning with an early morning wake-up call and departure for Psili Korifi.
e have chosen to do a circular crossing of Tymfristos that starts from the mountain refuge and ends in the area of Aghioi Apostoli.
A demanding route that requires good physical condition and winter mountain knowledge.
For those who cannot or do not have the knowledge to follow the specific route,
there will be an alternative route of 3-5 hours which does not require winter mountain knowledge.
Activity point
In the list of the most popular and sought-after winter tourist resorts in the country,
Karpenisi will always be high, regardless of how you want to spend your weekends.
Karpenisi is famous for its wonderful gorges and rivers with running water.
While it is “embraced” by magical villages and offers the
visitors a huge package of winter activities for every taste, it is also the capital of the prefecture
of Evrytania and is perched at an altitude of 950 meters. It is a beautiful city “encircled”
by mountains and nature that rages every season. The town is small and picturesque, with places to drink, cafes and taverns.
