Important Information
Weekend trip from Athens to mountainous Nafpaktia.
Saturday 28 November: circular hike from Elatou on trails M1 and M2 through fir forest past Megali Vrysi and Nerakia, returning on M3 (about 9.2 km, +510 m, highest point about 1,461 m, 3-4 h, easy-moderate); night at Hotel Elatou, a traditional mountain hotel at 1,050 m, and dinner together in the village.
Sunday 29 November: circular hike from Ano Chora to Gravara through forest and over wooden footbridges by Agia Paraskevi, with a stop at the Tsourna waterfall (about 14 km, +595 m, highest point about 1,385 m, about 5 h, easy-moderate); last stop at the old town and Venetian harbour of Nafpaktos before heading back.
Plenty of climbing but no technical sections: for hikers in good shape, not hardcore mountaineers.
You can skip a day's hike and stay in Elatou or Ano Chora if you tell the organizers in advance; the programme may change with weather and mountain conditions.
