Located between Arachova and Itea north of the ancient town of Crissa, it offers a magnificent view of the olive groves of Amfissa and the Corinthian Gulf.
There, we enjoy a traditional picnic with local cheeses and an olive oil tasting at the yard of a beautiful chapel.
We hike inside the olive grove up to a point from where we can see ruins of the prehistoric acropolis of Krissa. We continue downhill in a mild route between 3-4 Km’s (1,8-2,4 miles).A support car will follow us on a parallel road during our hike, in case any participant gets tired before our arrival point.
About an our later we drive back to the port of Itea.
