October 1, 2022,🇬🇷Thassos: Von Theologes über Wasserfälle nach Kastro

It is better to go to Kastro first and then to the falls. Unfortunately, the steep, rocky path from/to Kastro is hardly used anymore, it is overgrown and cannot be seen from above. There are only a few cairns to be seen. Red marks have faded. So we descended through the terrain and pretty much scratched our legs (prickly bushes). …

Komoot created this tour for us as a circular hiking trail. But descending from Kastro via the suggested route would be too dangerous even for locals... so we returned the same way.

A great, varied route to Kastros. The waterfall hardly had any water for us. The pools of water in front of it invited you to linger. The descent was difficult. The path no longer exists or cannot be found for us. Be sure to wear sturdy shoes, otherwise you won't be able to get down.

For me it was one of the most beautiful hikes of the holiday. The route was extremely varied and the almost deserted mountain village of Kastro was a worthwhile destination. We had an extremely fun lunch break in the Kosta tavern. Kosta loves to entertain his guests: goo.gl/maps/6jFabWx3PUSepuEC6

Hello, we are on vacation here on the beautiful Greek island of Thassos, but I have to write something about this tour. At the beginning everything is great and beautiful, but from about 7.5 km it becomes very impassable, it is no longer possible to find the right path. At the end there was also a very steep ascent over …

Thank you for whoever provided the tour. 👍🏻 Are these addressed accordingly from Theologos. I adjusted the way back. 😉 Really an extraordinary "mountain tour" up and down to and from Kastro. The view up there is tremendous, unfortunately you can't make it so visible on pictures, but it absolutely makes up for the effort. At the tavern we strengthened …
