Discover the natural charm of Megalo Chorio and Mount Kaliakouda, a perfect destination for beginner hikers and nature lovers. The hike begins at the municipal parking lot at the entrance of Megalo Chorio, where we ensure everyone is prepared with the necessary clothing and supplies.
We start by crossing the village road for a few meters before entering the dense fir forest, immersing ourselves in the fresh mountain air and tranquil surroundings. After approximately 4.5 km of hiking over two and a half hours, we reach the Kaliakouda Refuge, operated by EOS Karpenisiou, where hikers can rest and take in the peaceful mountain scenery.
The return journey follows the same scenic path back to the village, where participants can enjoy a coffee or meal in Megalo Chorio, completing a leisurely 9 km, 5-hour loop. This easy route is ideal for beginners or those seeking a relaxed day in nature.
