Lake Tsivlou - Aristarchus Observatory (Neraidorachi)
Our most adventurous and enchanting off-road route starts from Kalavrita at an altitude of 750m. to reach the top of Neraidorachi, at an altitude of 2350m. During it we will pass by the alpine village of Souvardo with its crystal waters, we will wander among centuries-old oaks, towering firs and huge plane trees and we will relax by feeding the fish of the beautiful Tsivlou Lake, which as an important Natura wetland, hosts many species of flora and fauna and the most daring to take a dip in its crystal clear waters. We will visit the Kalavrita Ski Center and living the unprecedented experience of driving in the alpine zone of Mount Helmos, we will stand under the imposing Aristarchus observatory (the largest in the Balkans) and if we are lucky we will also see it in operation. 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 Corinth, as well as the Ionian and full of experiences, images and emotions, we will return to Kalavrita.
