HIKE IN MT. PARNITHA SOUTH SIDE

SAMSUNG CAMERA PICTURESOn Saturday the 26th of November at 11.00 a.m. we will meet each other to participate in a welcome … hike for the season 2016 – 2017.

The hike will take place at the south-east slopes of Mt. Parnitha through forested paths on a quite easy, but rocky in parts, terrain. It will take about four hours excluding stops and an hourly break for coffee, lunch or even … meal at “ Flabouri refuge ”. Its level of difficulty is medium because of ascent’s height difference, almost 600 m, and its duration. Further most point will be “ Koromilia ” place depending also of team’s efficiency.

Hiking boots, trekking poles, raincoat and reliable equipment generally are always highly recommended. For any case don’t forget also your head-torch !
