Discover the authenticity, and the greatness that nature generously gave to the mountainous Aegialia.
Magnificent paths next to rivers between plane trees, cherries, walnuts, chestnuts and at the highest altitude fir forests make you feel absolute well-being. The crossing of the gorge of the Vouraikos river with the cog railway that reaches the historic city of Kalavrita is considered one of the most fascinating routes in the world. Many walkers choose to live this experience by crossing this natural monument on foot. You will find picturesque villages scattered on the slopes, churches and hidden monasteries, some literally stuck on the imposing vertical rocks whose existence dates from the 14th and 15th century. Discover Lake Tsivlou, which is rightly ranked among the most beautiful lakes in Greece and follow the path that leads to the fir forest of Zarouchla. The wild beauty of Styga waterfall will captivate you. Here, according to mythology, Thetis, Achilles’ mother, held him by the heel and baptized him in the sacred waters of Styx to make him invulnerable and immortal.
