Aristarchus Observatory – Neraidorachi
Our most adventurous route starts from Kalavrita, at an altitude of 750m. to reach, the top of Neraidorachi, at an altitude of 2340m.,crossing beautiful picturesque villages and lush and dense spruce forest. We will pass through streams, waterholes and rivers, in order to experience the unprecedented driving in the alpine zone of Mount Helmos. The wild beauty of the landscape, with the unobstructed view in every direction of the horizon, will allow us to gaze at the Gulf of Patras and the Corinthian Gulf, as well as the Ionian Sea. We will be standing under the imposing Aristarchus Observatory, the largest in the Balkans, and if we are lucky, we will see it in operation. Taking the road back, we will visit the historic Tower of Petimezaion, the family's stronghold against the Turks, and full of experiences and photographs, we will return to Kalavrita. An experience that will be unforgettable!!!! Αvailable upon request. Notes: It is worth noting that the route we follow is circular and we never go through the same place.
