Paleochori-Selma-Stravopotamos Trail (10km) |
- Follow the uphill dirt road until the alt 1.345m (Selma Location). From this point you may see the great view over the peak of mount Paiko ‘Gola Tsuka’ as well as mount Tzena. Follow the trail to the right.
- Follow the red/yellow salamander signs. Walk downhill for 2.5 km until you reach an old vague dirt road. Follow the ‘road’ for 800m
- Reach the main dirt road (left takes you to Valeorvo location). Turn RIGHT. Reach the tarmack road, cross to the left and reach the next dirt road to the right. Follow for only a few meters the dirt road to reach the Stravopotamos location, where the Stravopotamos stream is as well as a picnic area
- Cross the Stravopotamos location and on the edge follow the signs to the next trail (Primatari trail) which is the most picturesque part of the route, as you cross the river eight times over wooden bridges. The length of the trail is 3.5km and it ends at the observation tower of Primatari that offers a stunning view to the Stravopotamos gorge. (the location of the observation tower is on the asphalt road from Kastaneri to Livadia village)
Note: If you don’t wish to walk aprox 3 km on the asphalt road back at the Paliochori starting point, you must before starting your trekking leave some of your vehicles to the Primatari observation tower (where the trail ends)
