River Hiking in Asopos Gorge

On Sunday 29/6  we will hike the beautiful gorge of Asopos which is the natural border between the mountains of Oitis and Kallidromou.

Our route starts from the small church of the Holy Church of Zoodochos Pigi just outside the village of Iraklia.

From there, passing on the opposite side, we will descend towards the gorge of Asopos which is the natural border between the mountains of Oitis and Kallidromou.

It is a separate piece of special natural beauty, a narrow passage, formed by the towering vertical mountain slopes of Oita and Kallidromos. A gorge, which leads the waters of Eastern Oita to the Sperchios River and through it to the Malia Gulf, creating a wetland of enormous ecological importance.

The canyon in some places becomes quite narrow giving the typical wild beauty of the canyons and it has been known since ancient times.

At the exit, on the fringes of Oita and Kallidromos on the South-Eastern side of the Sperchios valley, was the ancient Heraklia (Trachina), which was one of the five cities in the Kingdom of Achilles.

After the hike we will visit Kammena Vourla where we will have free time for lunch.

Participants should be in good physical condition and have taken part in hiking before. You will need sports shoes which will get wet during our crossing of the gorge. Whoever owns an amphibious, wear this.
