Ochi Mountain Natural Park Adventures

Ochi Mountain Natural Park is located in the southeastern part of the island of Euboea, Greece’s second-largest island. The park covers the slopes and summit area of Mount Ochi, rising to approximately 1,398 meters. The landscape is characterized by dense pine and fir forests, rocky outcrops, and a network of hiking trails that provide spectacular views of the Aegean Sea and nearby islands. Ochi Mountain's ecology hosts a variety of Mediterranean flora and fauna, including wild boars, foxes, and a range of bird species. Historically, the area has cultural significance with ancient trails and nearby traditional villages that reflect the island’s heritage.

Outdoor enthusiasts visit the park for hiking, mountain biking, birdwatching, and picnicking. Key landmarks include the Dragon House (Drakospita), mysterious megalithic structures made of large stone slabs scattered near the summit, believed to date back to the Hellenistic period or earlier. The park’s varied terrain accommodates easy to challenging trails, offering options for casual walkers and experienced trekkers alike. The blend of natural beauty, wildlife, cultural history, and panoramic views makes Ochi Mountain Natural Park a notable destination for nature lovers exploring Euboea.
