The Salonica View team is organizing a one-day excursion and hiking tour on one of the most beautiful trails, the Muses - Stravopotamos trail in Paiko.
A few words about our excursion:
We will start early in the morning by bus from Thessaloniki. After two hours, we will arrive at Mount Paiko and specifically at the Pramatari location. At this point, the mountain guide and expedition leader will talk to us about the route that our group will follow. Then, we will start our journey and walk the Pramatari - Lyomeno Stravopotamos trail (recreation area). The route is excellent especially in spring with the lush green landscape and the river with the 8 beautiful wooden bridges, each named after a muse!
The hike is open to everyone, including our little hikers (from 8 years old) always accompanied by a guardian. At the end, we will stop at the recreation area where we can have a small picnic, so we can rest and chat, so come organized with chess, food, drinks, etc. Then we will stop in Goumenissa for coffee and/or food before we depart back to Thessaloniki!
