Hiking Taygetos 2 Days

Our hike starts from the small and very picturesque village of Georgitsi. Georgitsi, also known as “the balcony of Taygetos”,
is located at an altitude of 970 meters. Throughout the 7 km route, we will walk on a clean and shaped
path at many points with wooden stairs or metal passages (wire rope – but via ferrata).

The path initially starts from
a dirt road and with a mild nature, but the deeper we go, the more it will compensate us for our choice to visit it.
On our route we will encounter firs, chestnuts, plane trees, as well as the ruins of old water mills.
In the narrowest part of the gorge is the old aqueduct of Alevros.

A very beautiful and special route. At the end of the hike we will go to the shelter of Taygetos.
Rest and food as our next hike which is the climb to the top of Prophet Elias requires us to get out of bed at 02:30 on Sunday morning.
Taygetos is the highest mountain of the Peloponnese with a height of 2405 meters but also an impressive length that exceeds 100 km!!!

The ridge of Taygetos is one of the longest alpine routes in the country. The peak of Taygetus is called Prophet Elias and is known
as one of the largest natural pyramids in the world. Every summer on the feast of the Prophet Elias, hundreds of visitors climb to the top,
to visit the small church and see the shadow of the pyramid that falls on the sea at sunrise.
On Sunday morning we will climb to the top of Taygetus in order to enjoy the incredible goddess
of the Pyramid phenomenon that takes place in the sunrise or sunset of the Sun.

With the completion of the descent and being full of a rich two days we will take the way back.
