Description
A guidebook to trekking the 220km Peloponnese Way and the 460km Pindos Way through the mountains of Greece, plus a shorter trek in Zagori and an ascent of Mount Olympus, Greece's highest peak. The routes visit some little frequented and remote parts of the country, and are demanding but not technical. The Pindos Way requires some wild camping.
The Peloponnese Way is described in 14 graded stages of between 7 and 20km, from Dhiakofto to Pantazi beach. The Pindos Way is presented in 30 graded stages of 8-31km, following Greece's mountain backbone from Amfissa to the summit of Mount Gramos. Both routes are presented in sections, for the benefit of those who don't have time for a full through-hike.
- Clear route description illustrated with 1:100,000 mapping
- Notes on accommodation, facilities, potential campsites and water sources
- Access details for each section of the treks
- Information on planning and preparation
- History, culture, plants and wildlife
