You step onto a ribbon of worn limestone at 1,200 m on the Livadi plateau and the mountain exhales—cool air pushing down into cedar and fir. The trail immediately begins to unspool: stone steps, slick with centuries of feet, give way to single-track packed dirt that threads through laurel and low pines. Below, the olive grove opens out and the Corinthian Gulf flashes silver between ridges of the Peloponnese.

The hike involves roughly 650 m of altitude change over technical terrain and is best for fit hikers comfortable with long downhill sections and uneven rock.
The hike starts on the Livadi plateau around 1,200 m; group sizes are capped at eight participants for this guided tour.
This tour is not recommended for those with spinal or serious mobility issues, pregnant travelers, or anyone unable to manage steep, uneven trails.
