Description

Hiking Gorge of Agali Evia, Greece

Date:
11 March

Come and discover the hidden beauties of Evia and cross one of the most beautiful hiking gorges of Evia, the magnificent Agali Gorge, at the foot of Dirfis!
The Agali Gorge is an excellent choice even for those taking their first steps in the mountains and it is sure to impress you thanks to its special and rich ecosystem!

It climbs towards the top of Dirfyos, passing through many, small, but remarkable habitats. The total length of the canyon reaches 6 kilometers. Characteristic is the rich vegetation that includes: Aleppo pines, bushy plants (hollies, oregano, thyme, rosemary, etc.), centuries-old plane trees, sycamores, rowan trees, gorcias, oaks, maples and chestnuts, rare flowers. At the highest point, a forest of Capellinian fir begins. The longest length of the gorge is run by a stream, which forms beautiful lakes and waterfalls. Its waters originate from the sources of Arkudovrysi and Kryovrysi, which are also the main sources of the Messapios river. The name "Agali", say the residents, comes from "agali" as in the many narrow and uphill places, walkers are obliged to walk slowly.

We will start from the Agalis Refuge (930m.). and we will move downhill inside the canyon until its entrance, near the village of Agios Athanasios.
The route inside the gorge is downhill. We cross sub-alpine slopes and meadows and reach our first stop, the Kratia spring, at 730 meters altitude, with the characteristic giant plane tree. The landscape changes little by little and plane trees appear, among the firs and then among the pines. We continue to our next stop at the Cryovrysi spring, a beautiful stone fountain with gurgling water awaits us! Little by little the gorge narrows and towering impressive rocks rise up next to us. We cross the river by the metal bridges that have replaced the old wooden ones.
Full of images of unique beauty, we reach the village of Agios Athanasios (190m.).
