Hiking & Archery in the Gorge of Agali (Transfer from Athens) at Jan. 6
Activity Description
Come and discover the hidden beauties of Evia by crossing one of the most beautiful hiking gorges in Greece, the Agali Gorge!
The Agali Gorge is an excellent choice even for those taking their first steps in the mountains and it is sure to impress you thanks to its special and rich ecosystem!
Also, we will indulge in one of the oldest sports, #archery, which apart from its history, also offers us great fun!
A few words about the Agali gorge...
It is one of the most beautiful gorges of Evia, which goes up to the top of Dirfis, passing through many small but remarkable habitats. Its length reaches 6 kilometers, while the rich vegetation is typical, including: Aleppo pines, bushy plants (hollies, oregano, thyme, rosemary, etc.), centuries-old plane trees, sycamores, sycamores, gorcias, oaks, maples and chestnuts, rare flowers. At the highest point, a forest of Capellinian fir begins.
The longest length of the gorge is run by a stream which forms beautiful lakes and waterfalls. This stream originates from the sources Arkudovrysi and Kryovrysi, inside the gorge, which are also the main sources of the Messapios river.
Our route...
Our hike starts from the village of Agios Athanasios. The route inside the gorge is uphill and well signposted. We cross the river by the metal bridges that have replaced the old wooden ones. In less than half an hour's walk from the entrance, the gorge narrows and towering impressive rocks rise beside us. We continue to our first stop at the Cryovrysi spring, a beautiful stone fountain with gurgling water awaits us! Then, the landscape changes and the towering plane trees give way first to pines and then to firs. We cross sub-alpine slopes and meadows and reach our destination, the source of Kratia, at 730 meters altitude, with the characteristic giant plane tree. Our return is made by the same path. Finally, we practice our archery performance.
