Hiking in Flambouritsa & Visit to Hermes Cave (Zirea, Corinth)
Activity Description
Explore the fir-covered paths and alpine landscapes of Ziria through a circular route that combines natural beauty, mythology and panoramic views.
The hike starts from the Ziria Ski Center and our first stop is the Cave of Hermes, the place where —according to mythology— the messenger god was born. We enter its interior and experience the mystery and historicity of this unique place.
From there, we continue into the Varnevos forest, among fir trees and sounds of nature that create a sense of absolute escape. As we ascend, the landscape opens up and reveals the alpine plateau of Ziria, a natural treasure full of pastures, earthy hues and endless views of the peaks and neighboring mountains.
The route continues towards the valley of Flambouritsa, one of the most magnificent natural formations of the area. There, plane trees, streams and meadows create a calm, refreshing setting. As a Natura 2000 area, Flambouritsa is home to rare species of flora and fauna, making it a paradise for nature lovers.
The descent leads us back to the Ziria Ski Center, where this authentic hiking experience concludes. At the end, we enjoy a picnic in nature.
