Today the first part of the Menalon Trail.
It starts in Stemnitsa and ends in Lagkadia, is 75 km long in total and connects 9 villages. It is the first certified trail in Greece by the ERA.
The idea behind this trail is to restore the ancient paths that connected these villages to their former glory as

Not too difficult a walk today. First a bit of Urban Exploration at the start of the tour. An abandoned bar or restaurant I think. Apparently for sale if I translate the text on the front of the building. Continued the road along the beach and then inland. A lot of barking dogs of all sizes along the

Last year, I walked a small part of the Parori gorge with my son. Today, I walked all the way to the top where it connects to the E4 from Parori to Anavryti. A quiet, wide path; the last stretch to Anavryti is on asphalt.
Anavryti is a sleepy village at this time of year. Over the years, it has developed

What a beauty, this gorge.
The Viros Gorge (Vyros Gorge) is an impressive limestone gorge in the Taygetos mountains. The gorge stretches from the summit of Profitis Ilias to the coast near Kardamyli and is about 19 km long in its full length. There are large boulders inside that are sometimes difficult

I actually wanted to hike the Viros gorge today, but Windy had predicted a lot of rain, so I chose a shorter hike. In the end, I don't think it made any difference because you can get soaking wet on a shorter route too. Just when you think it can't get any worse, a heavy thunderstorm comes around the

Because the weather was nice, we decided to walk to the city of the same name after landing at Kalamata airport. Nothing special along the way except for barking dogs everywhere you pass. I sometimes wonder, don't the people here get bothered by that?

Part 2 of the Menalon trail, that is to say, a part of it. Section 2: Dimitsana-Zygovisti in its entirety and a small part of Zygovisti–Elati. To end up back in Stemnitsa, I had to cut off part of this route.
After an extensive breakfast, it was time for the trail. Despite following the markings, things
