Jeep Safari & Hiking at Drakolimni Verliga

Price from €240

Overview

Discover Verliga, an alpine plateau at 2.050 m that hosts an amazing seasonal lake and impressive meanders formed by the springs of Aspropotamos (Acheloos). Surrounded by the peaks of Tsoukarela and Megas Trapos, Verliga is one of the most unique natural destinations in Pindos.

In spring, the plateau turns into a mosaic of colors with crocuses and buttercups, while Alpine Newts bring life to the lakes, making Verliga an important refuge for biodiversity. The myths of the dragon lake, the waterfalls, and the striking geological formations create a truly captivating landscape.

Experience it up close on a hiking adventure that blends nature and exploration. You may also choose an overnight stay in 2-person tents with sleeping mats, provided by us upon request.
