2 days Living in nature - Parnassos from North to South (E4)

Price from €205

Overview

The European path E4 crosses Mt. Parnassos from North to South. Together we will follow a varied route that connects Agoriani (Eptalofos) with the mythical Delphi.

On the first day we will climb from Agoriani to the plateau of Kalania where we will have dinner in the open air and spend the night in tents. During our hike we will find ourselves in the heart of the National Park on a narrow path and dense fir forest. On the second day we will descend to the southern foothills of Mt. Parnassos following one of the most beautiful sections of the E4 path, known worldwide for its unique view of the ancient temples, the olive grove and the Corinthian Gulf. We will follow a stone-built path and end in Delphi.
