We could have maybe made it three, but we wanted a day in the middle to<a class='wprs_rd_more'>... read more<\/a><span class='wprs_rd_more_text' style='display:none;'> rest (which we did in Dimitsana in the Amanites Guesthouse, which I highly recommend). It was a beautiful trail but in March be warned - it can get quite warm in places but also quite foggy, rainy, and cold! We started off in the beating sun, but eventually on the Dimitsana - Elati route we ran into snow several feet deep! The first leg, going along the gorge and the monasteries was beautiful. We saw turtles and donkeys as well along the way. Nearing Dimitsana, we ran into some flooded areas of the trail and had to climb around and get our feet quite wet for a bit of it due to recent spring rain. There were some marked detours but we did lose the trail at one point and regained it later on. Dimitsana itself was a lovely quiet town, a great place to rest off the first day and we were lucky to see it snow-covered in the morning. The museum in town was unfortunately closed because of the holidays, but as we walked past it, it looked interesting. After resting, we did two legs in one day from Dimitsana to Zygovisti and then on to Elati. Because of recent snowfall, this third leg started out okay but quickly became a challenge as we had to walk up and down steep snow-covered icy trails which we hadn't quite been prepared for. Luckily some proper hikers were ahead of us, so we followed their footsteps and were fine. They had hired the services of a Menalon Trail guide, which you can do by email or calling the number for the trail (I recommend this if there's any sign of inclement weather). In Elati we stayed at Vanna's House (the contact you can also get from emailing Menalon trail), who provided a beautiful dinner and breakfast in their lovely self-built farmhouse. From there we did the last leg at a leisurely pace to Vytina. Vytina is a bigger town which probably gets more tourists, but we didn't feel as welcome there as in the earlier few towns along the trail - but it's a gorgeous town nonetheless. <br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nThe whole trail is pretty clearly signposted, however due to aforementioned inclement weather (rain and snow), it might be not so easy to find during early spring. The only time we walked near other people was during the first leg, as there are people going between the monasteries. In the snow covered areas, we saw hints of other travellers, but for the most part the whole trail felt like it was just for us!  <br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nTo get to the trail, we took a bus from Athens to Tripoli (\u20ac16.50 each) and had been planning on taking a local bus from Tripoli to Stemnista, but we found there was a holiday on that day, so we had to pay for a taxi (\u20ac40). On the way back to Athens, we took a bus from Vytina back to Tripoli which carried on to Athens. I found there wasn't so much clear information on getting to\/from Menalon trail that you can find online... But it's not really a big problem because, unless there's holidays, you can probably make it to and from Athens OK.<\/span>\t\t\t\t<\/p>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tripadvisor.com\/Attraction_Review-g1168691-d7736954-Reviews-The_Menalon_Trail-Stemnitsa_Arkadia_Region_Peloponnese.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/menalontrail.eu\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-tripadvisor-review-slider\/public\/partials\/imgs\/tripadvisor_outline.png\" alt=\"tripadvisor logo\" class=\"lazyload wptripadvisor_t1_tripadvisor_logo\"><\/a>\t\t\t<\/div><span class=\"wptripadvisor_t1_A_8\"><\/span> <span class=\"wptripadvisor_t1_SPAN_5 wprev_preview_tcolor2_T1\">abanimates<br\/><span class=\"wprev_showdate_T1\">July 30, 2019<\/span> <\/span>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wptripadvisor_t1_DIV_1 w3_wprs-col l3\">\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wptripadvisor_t1_DIV_2 wprev_preview_bg1_T1 wprev_preview_bradius_T1\">\r\n\t\t\t\t<p class=\"wptripadvisor_t1_P_3 wprev_preview_tcolor1_T1\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"wptripadvisor_star_imgs_T1\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/menalontrail.eu\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-tripadvisor-review-slider\/public\/partials\/imgs\/tripadvisor_stars_4.png\" alt=\"star rating\" class=\"lazyload wptripadvisor_t1_star_img_file\">&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span>With a small team of nature lovers we hiked 4 of the most difficult trails at Menalon Trail over last week, starting from Karytaina, Moni Panagias Kalamiou, Atsicholos, Lousios river,<a class='wprs_rd_more'>... read more<\/a><span class='wprs_rd_more_text' style='display:none;'> Moni Agiou Ioannou Prodromou, Moni Panagias Filosofou, Dimitsana, Elati, Zygovisti,Vytina. Since I'm amateur in this kind of excursions I faced many difficulties on walking many times under the hot summer sun of Greece or at very narrow paths, but I also enjoyed every step under the huge pine, oak and fir trees. Swimming at Lousios river natural Spa waters was so exciting that we spend almost 3 hours relaxing and sunbathing. The signs and explanatory panels were very helpful. At the villages we visited and stayed the people were very hospitable offering the nicest goods that they had, but the most important their warm welcome and smile. At the monasteries, visitors are welcomed with water and loukoumi so to refresh and rest a bit.

However we had a bit of trouble getting a trail map. Before we left Australia, we bought<a class='wprs_rd_more'>... read more<\/a><span class='wprs_rd_more_text' style='display:none;'> a map via Menalon Trail site, but no matter how I tried, I just couldn\u2019t download the map they sent on the email. We just loved the look of Stemnista town as we drove through &amp; rang Mpelleiko Guest House that afternoon &amp; got a room there. Luckily the owner Nena was very knowledgeable about the trail &amp; lent us a map &amp; explained the good trail to walk. Anyway the first Monastery was called Prodromos in the cliff!!! Two monks greeted us with Greek coffee, water &amp; some sweets. Saw some interesting frescos in a small chapel. The view from the verandah was so beautiful, but if I saw myself from the bottom of the cliff, I would be so scared to death!<br \/>\r\nThen we saw the other monastery was called old Philosophou(not in use) &amp; also the new one. At the new one, a very friendly monk greeted us with some cold water &amp; sweets &amp; showed us the inside of the church full of beautiful frescos. Must shut the door of the church after you walk in or else, so many cats will follow you inside. Then we went down to Lousios River to swim, but the water was so cold &amp; my husband did swim for 5 mins &amp; I could only walk in for 1 mins &amp; left. All this took 8 hours &amp; that was one of the best memories of Greek holiday. Also we could easily drive to each monastery, we are so glad that we walked to find some interesting plants &amp; great sceneries. We would like to do all 75 km of 8 sections one day.<\/span>\t\t\t\t<\/p>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tripadvisor.com\/Attraction_Review-g1168691-d7736954-Reviews-The_Menalon_Trail-Stemnitsa_Arkadia_Region_Peloponnese.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/menalontrail.eu\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-tripadvisor-review-slider\/public\/partials\/imgs\/tripadvisor_outline.png\" alt=\"tripadvisor logo\" class=\"lazyload wptripadvisor_t1_tripadvisor_logo\"><\/a>\t\t\t<\/div><span class=\"wptripadvisor_t1_A_8\"><\/span> <span class=\"wptripadvisor_t1_SPAN_5 wprev_preview_tcolor2_T1\">masakonishimura<br\/><span class=\"wprev_showdate_T1\">November 27, 2017<\/span> <\/span>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wptripadvisor_t1_DIV_1 w3_wprs-col l3\">\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wptripadvisor_t1_DIV_2 wprev_preview_bg1_T1 wprev_preview_bradius_T1\">\r\n\t\t\t\t<p class=\"wptripadvisor_t1_P_3 wprev_preview_tcolor1_T1\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"wptripadvisor_star_imgs_T1\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/menalontrail.eu\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-tripadvisor-review-slider\/public\/partials\/imgs\/tripadvisor_stars_5.png\" alt=\"star rating\" class=\"lazyload wptripadvisor_t1_star_img_file\">&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span>The trail is long, we only tasted it.

They are visible but  it only takes a minute to miss a turn into the forest.

Took about 8 hours with stops. <br \/>\r\nShout out to my hosts at Petra &amp; Elato Hotel and to the family that runs Taverna Vasilikos (\u03a4\u03b1\u03b2\u03ad\u03c1\u03bd\u03b1 \u0392\u03b1\u03c3\u03b9\u03bb\u03b9\u03ba\u03cc\u03c2), they were so friendly and made me a superb pizza.<br \/>\r\nDay 4: Valtesiniko to Lagkadia<br \/>\r\nDefinitely one of the nicest scenery days, and some of the best walking.

Both Monasteries we visited had clothes\/sarongs you could borrow, which was fine.<br \/>\r\nProdomos also has refreshments and you can refill water bottles at both too.<br \/>\r\nWe loved it and would recommend!<\/span>\t\t\t\t<\/p>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tripadvisor.com\/Attraction_Review-g1168691-d7736954-Reviews-The_Menalon_Trail-Stemnitsa_Arkadia_Region_Peloponnese.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/menalontrail.eu\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-tripadvisor-review-slider\/public\/partials\/imgs\/tripadvisor_outline.png\" alt=\"tripadvisor logo\" class=\"lazyload wptripadvisor_t1_tripadvisor_logo\"><\/a>\t\t\t<\/div><span class=\"wptripadvisor_t1_A_8\"><\/span> <span class=\"wptripadvisor_t1_SPAN_5 wprev_preview_tcolor2_T1\">Lesley C<br\/><span class=\"wprev_showdate_T1\">July 31, 2022<\/span> <\/span>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n<!-- This file should primarily consist of HTML with a little bit of PHP. -->\r\n<\/li><\/ul><\/div>\r\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-4898","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 -
