Açıklama
A great day hiking in Enipeas gorge were you will have the opportunity to experience the unique natural beauty of the lower Olympus area. The dense vegitation and the hearing of the flowing water on the way calms you down and prepares you for this fantastic journey.
We will cross the Enipeas river several times through little wooden bridges and have the opportunity to refresh ourselves in the crystal clear ponds. Our path leads us just outside the historical St. Dionysus monastery and a unique chapel build in a cave and we will visit them both for a short tour and some rest.
