Itinerary
You have probably heard about the Kali Limni hike from Lastos. What you might not have heard about is the Lastos hike that takes you from the monastery of Archangelou Mychael through pine-tree forests, spectacular viewpoints where we can see Kyra Panagia and the fertile land in Mertonas which provides Pigadia with water, to waterfalls in the winter and spring.
This hike takes you off the grid in a fantastic way that might not be for the hiker who has fear of heights. This tour is one of our newest exclusive hikes for the summer of 2021 and it takes our breath away immediately. Old stavlos and the fertile land gives us a clue about the settlers that once took advantage of this land and made it their own. Goats and sheep are following us along the path, and do not feel alarmed when their bells are ringing in the distance. They are as much part of this land as the rocks we are walking on. Take a minute to feel the quietness of this beautiful landscape when your guide stops the group for a coffee or a snack. Don’t forget our motto – take only pictures, leave no trace.
