A Must do - Excellent experience. Not too hard. Dimitri is local and knows the
history, plants, animals. We were 5 and all had a pleasant experience. highly recommended. He brought picnic with meatballs he cooked eggs and tomatoes from his farm and baked us bread we all enjoyed after our trek. The monks know him well so it made our access easy to monasteries with coffee and sweets waiting for us. Unique & heartwarming time.

Outstanding time and souvenir - The trip was better than explained. We were 5 adults. Dimitri is awesome. He is a local resident/guide therefore he gives you the history of the monasteries, explains plants, animals. He is well acquainted with the monks, so we had coffee and sweets offered. He tells you anything you want to know about the land he loves. Very patient with slower walker. We enjoyed sharing this precious time with him and he deserves lot of business.

A lovely guided hike in the countryside - Very beautiful hike in the Lousios gorges, on part of the famous Menalon Trail, with our guide Dimitris whom we would like to thank again.
We left from the Monastery of Philosophou towards the Monastery of Prodromou to ancient Gortys, passing from one bank to the other of the mythical river Lousios. Final picnic provided by Dimitris at the edge of the river, with a short swim possible for those less cautious.
A lovely time spent with family!

Worth seeing! - A fantastic tour with a great guide. Ευχαριστούμε πάραπολύ @Δημήτρης!
You need a 4x4 to get there. Please don't try with a camper! The roads are very bad.
The monastery is... indescribable. A fascinating place.

Great hike through gorge and monestary - My husband and I hiked the gorge with Fotis. We are experienced hikers, but the day was so much more enjoyable having a guide to help navigate the trail and give us the history behind the sites. Fotis was very friendly, informative and professional. He even brought a picnic lunch that included olives and oil from his trees. This day is one of the highlights of our trip and I would very much recommend this company.

Nice walk at a leisurely pace - Friendly guide who tells you about what you see along the way. Alternative walk walked past monasteries and through gorge.
Slow pace. Tasty picnic with products from our guide's farm.
Feet bathed in freezing healing water. Too bad the site does not indicate that you can bring swimwear.
