Hiking in Kissavos and the Kalypso waterfall Claimed

In this place the sea embraces the mountain, streams, lakes and rivers alternate with forests of fir, beech, chestnut and plane trees and the gorges feed the sea with gurgling waters. This is where legends intertwine with stories, where Asclepius obtained most of his herbs, where the mythical hero Hercules is believed to have breathed his last breath, where the two mythical giants, Othos and Ephialtes, tried to reach the gods. A unique experience of mountains, sea, waterfalls and lakes in a pristine landscape!

Information

Our program will start with the ascent to the top of Kissavos, we will pass by the traditional village of Spilia and head for the mountaineering shelter. There we will find a spring with fresh cool water to fill our canteens and off we go to the top! From the top you have a panoramic view, to the west the plain of Larissa, to the south the plain of Agia, to the east the sea where the slopes of Kissavos fade away forming coves and to the north you can see Mount Olympus rising majestically in front of you. In front of us spread gorges, canyons and rivers, and somewhere in there the waterfall of Kalypso is hidden
