Hiking/Climb to the top of Xerovouni (Central Evia) w/ transfer from Athens on Sep. 15
Activity Description
An additional offer for mountain lovers to enjoy and conquer another peak by hiking on a wonderful path in Xerovouni, in the "heart" of Evia ...
A few words about Xerovouni ...
Xerovouni is a limestone massif in Central Evia and is essentially a continuation of the mountain complex of Dirfi. Its highest peak, Portaris, has an altitude of 1,453 m. The mountain vegetation consists mainly of pines and firs and secondarily beech and chestnut forests.
Our route…
The route that we will do starts at the point 'Glyfada' and ends at the plateau of Xerovouni, where we will enjoy the view of the peaks and the imposing wall.
We start our hike enjoying the admirable view of the majestic Mount Dirfi on our left and the Xerovouni mountain range on our right, which are awe-inspiring as they are the highest part of Evia, with an altitude of 1,743 m and 1,453 m respectively.
Then we will hike on our path, through a crowded forest, rich in flora. Do not be confused by its name, as Xerovouni is nothing but "dry", since there are many springs and great vegetation of evergreen and deciduous trees!
We will continue the route to the top in an alpine landscape with majestic rocks embracing the top!
