On Sunday the 15th of December, according to the Autumn programme, SAS organize a hiking experience through the less known forested paths of the north face of Mount Parnitha.
The hike will take 5 hours approx. including sufficient breaks, height difference to be covered is 370 m., so the difficulty of this … walk would be considered as medium. The area we are going to hike is around ‘‘ Limiko plateau ’’ and ‘‘ Saloniki ’’, not this one in the Northern Greece … ! We’ll also visit the ancient tower of Limiko and the picturesque St. George chapel.
Hiking boots, trekking poles, raincoat and reliable equipment generally are always highly recommended. For any case don’t forget also your head-torch !
After the end of the hike we would have the opportunity to take meal at “ Flabouri ” Mountain Hut.
Meeting point is on the mountain in ‘‘ Mola recreation area ’’ just in front of St. Peter chapel, 3.3 km after the turn-off to ‘‘ Bafi refuge ’’ at 10:30 a.m. where is a lot of space to park our cars.
There will be also another meeting point at ‘‘Aristotelous ’’square in Thrakomakedones at 09:40 a.m. at the ‘‘ Periptero to Steki ’’ in order to go up to the mountain as a convoy and probably to serve some members who will come by bus No. 504 from Kifisia metro station, but they have specially to declare that.
For those who are interested in participating, please declare up to 13th 20:00 p.m. Leader will be Georgos Foteinos, e-mail geoplanf@otenet.gr Emergency phone 6945 386255.
