The hike
Difficulty: 1 · Easy(organizer grade: Easy)
Walking time: 3 h
Departure: Athens, Agios Antonios metro station (Peristeri) 09:00, approximate (coach)
Important Information
Saturday day trip to mountainous Arcadia on section 5 of the Menalon Trail (the first certified European trail in Greece), from Nymfasia (formerly Granitsa) to Vytina: 5.6 km and about 3 hours with +310/-110 m.
From Nymfasia the path soon enters flysch and dense vegetation and descends gently to the bed of the Mylaontas river.
The first stop is the historic single-arch stone Tzavaraina bridge, among running water and plane trees, for a rest and group photos.
The path then climbs beside the Mavra Litharia, a limestone mass that forms a small wild gorge, and continues on a gentle climb through Old Vytina to Vytina, where the hike ends near traditional taverns and cafés for coffee and a meal.
The Menalon Trail has European-standard waymarking.
Coach from the Agios Antonios metro station in Peristeri at about 09:00 (approximate), back at about 21:00 (approximate).
The €40 includes the coach (driver's meal, fuel and tolls), mountain guides who graduated from a guide school and are trained in first aid, guides' expenses, civil liability insurance, photos and 24% VAT. Online booking closes on 20 November.
The order of the programme may change with the weather or other unforeseen conditions.
Be at the meeting point 10 minutes early: the coach leaves on time.
Bring a windbreaker, a waterproof, a backpack, a personal first-aid kit, at least 1.5 L of water, a light snack, hiking boots and a second set of clothes and shoes (equipment list: https://activetravelersingreece.com/equipment/; grading: https://activetravelersingreece.com/difficulty-level/).
