Hiking. The high crossing of the Tempi Valley – Tempi valley / Lower Olympus.

Hiking on the Tempi valley’s north side / lower Olympus. Route: “The high crossing of the Tempi valley”.

We meet at the west end of the Tempi valley. From there we are transferred in our means of transport to the starting point of the hike. We follow a path, which takes us along and over the north cliff-side of the Tempi Valley, all the way to the other side of it, the eastern end. This is a high crossing of the valley with stunning views of the river down below and of Mt. Kissavos (Ossa) at the opposite south side, all the way along the trek. We will have a lot to talk about, as we cross this historic valley. The place holds amazing stories and myths from the very – very old times… We finish at a picturesque chapel where the picnic is waiting for us, at about 100m. A wonderful walk indeed!

The first part of the walk is downhill dirt road, the middle and longest main section is almost flat and the last part is downhill.

It takes 2.30’ to 3.00’ hours of moderate walk.

Overall activity’s duration from the meeting time to the “ready to go home” time, 4.30′ – 5.00′ hours, including the local road transfers and the picnic meal.
