Hiking/Climb to the top of Xerovouni (Central Evia) w/ transfer from Athens
Activity Description
Spring is here, the snow is melting, and Xerovouni is calling us! Get ready for a hike that has it all—alpine vibes, peaks with breathtaking views, and trails that keep you on your toes!
A few words about Xerovouni ...
Xerovouni is a limestone massif in Central Evia and is essentially a continuation of the mountain complex of Dirfi. Its highest peak, Portaris, has an altitude of 1,453 m. The mountain vegetation consists mainly of pines and firs and secondarily beech and chestnut forests.
Our route…
We begin our hike by taking in the breathtaking view of the majestic Mount Dirfys to our left and the Xerovouni mountain range to our right, which inspire awe as they form the highest part of Euboea, with elevations of 1,743 m and 1,453 m, respectively.
We will then continue along our trail through a dense forest rich in flora. Don’t be misled by its name, as Xerovouni is anything but “dry,” since there are many springs and lush vegetation of evergreen and deciduous trees!
We reach the plateau and enjoy the majestic view of the peaks around us. We continue the route to the summit through an alpine landscape with majestic cliffs embracing the peak!
