Zagori: Elati Village Circular Hike｜Greece

Begin your hike in the village of Elati, hidden inside the green slopes of Mitsikeli mountain. Walk through old neighborhoods on stone trails shaped by craftsmen more than 200 years ago.

Enter the forest and cross a water fountain, where you can fill your water bottles. Continue downhill under the shade of enormous oak trees, the dominant tree of the area.

Reach the riverbed and notice amazing stone constructions that were used to control the waters for watering the fields. What once was cultivated land is now a vast forest.

Follow the stream and witness old fields, little waterfalls, and nature thriving all over. The trail will lead you to the little Milos bridge, by the old water mill which no longer stands there.

From the bridge, take the trail back up to the village where you end the tour.
