Activity Snapshot
Activity description
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 and immediately takes your breath away. 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 your hiking group 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 you will be 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. This will also be a good opportunity for you to take some photos of the picturesque scenery.
Height difference: 300m (984 ft) descent / 315m (1,033 ft) ascent
Distance: 7.5km (4.3 miles)
This hike is considered moderate and for someone with a good walking condition that can handle moderate ascend and descend. The trails are generally in good condition.
