Coach day trip to mountain Arcadia for a point-to-point traverse on Mainalo, from the historic village of Chrysovitsi, linked to the Greek Revolution of 1821, to Mantaiika, through the fir forests of the mountain.
7.5 km, +110 m / -220 m, grade A (level A – easy), about 2:45 h net walking time (3:40 h with stops), with gentle gradients on forest paths and dirt tracks, part of the area's trail network, with stops for rest and observing nature.
The coach waits at Mantaiika, so there is no return to the start.
If time allows after the hike, there is a food stop in the area before returning to Athens, depending on how the day goes.
