Best Hikes to Rouvas Gorge

Tips

  • The path is well signposted and easy to find, no particular challenge.

  • A beautiful and worth seeing gorge near Zaros that ends in the Rouvas forest. There are three ways to get started: at Votomos Lake, at the Eleonora Country Village Hotel and at the St. Nicholas Monastery. There are around 6 km and 550 meters of altitude to overcome (and back). At the beginning it's steep and sometimes you have to use your hands to climb. The last two kilometers are easy and you climb comfortably in the shade. The path is well marked with red dots, arrows and crosses. At the end there is a clearing and a small chapel, a spring where you can fill up your water and, if you are there on Sunday - crowds of locals grilling their sheep (they obviously know a gravel road for off-road vehicles).
