Start your morning with an adventure above the clouds.
Meet your guide in Pigadia and journey by car to the foothills near Aperi, where your scenic hike begins. As you ascend the mountain path, you’ll be surrounded by wildflowers, fragrant herbs, and the gentle sounds of Karpathian nature. After about an hour’s steady climb, you’ll reach the charming Profitis Ilias church, perched at the summit and offering breathtaking panoramic views.
Gaze out over the sparkling turquoise waters of Achata beach and spot the villages of Menetes, Pigadia, Othos, Volada, and Aperi, each nestled into the landscape below. Step inside the peaceful chapel, soak up the cool shade, and enjoy a well-deserved break, this is the perfect spot to catch your breath, snap some photos, and savour the island’s tranquil beauty. Refreshed, you’ll make the gentle descent back to Aperi, where the local operator's vehicle awaits to return you to Pigadia.
