Description

An unforgettable experience for lovers of the land and tradition!

Experience an amazing hike through Lefkada’s stunning landscapes, where nature, history, and local culture unite. The journey begins at the historic Monastery of Evangelistria, known as the Red Church (1458 AD), in the traditional village of Platystoma.

Following ancient trails, we make our way to the Antena Plateau at Skaros, where breathtaking views of the Ionian Islands and the mainland coastline unfold before us.

Next, we enter the peaceful Skaros Woods, taking a break under the shade of majestic ancient oak trees. From there, we continue along the slopes of Mount Skaros, heading towards the historic Agios Georgios Monastery (1611 AD).

Our adventure brings us in the charming village of Kolivata, where we savor traditional local products and toast with a shot of ouzo.

A circular route back to the Red Church ensures a comfortable return, making this journey an unforgettable blend of nature, history, and local flavors!
