Zastano Peak

Highlight • Summit

Zastano is a peak in the Kerkis mountain range. It is 1206m high and lies north of Vigla peak, which can be reached by traversing the ridge of the mountain. The climb is very demanding and not for beginners.

Summit of Mount Kerkis

Highlight • Summit

The views from this mountain are absolutely stunning. The climb from Votsalakia is pretty tough. If you wish to climb this mountain I recommend good, solid hiking shoes/boots, nordic walking sticks (after the 2nd monastery the path is pretty much non-existent, it’s all just loose stones. The sticks really help) and water. Lots and lots of water. We did the climb in June and had 4L of water with us (per person). It was enough to go to the top and back.

At the top of the mountain we found a big, metal military coffer with a notebook in it. This notebook contains the names of the people who have reached the top. You should definitely not forget to put yours in there too!

The view is absolutely worth the tough climb.
