1st Methana Crossing

23 October 22

From Loutra to the Volcano

 

Methana, with its special geography and wild beauty, offer us the ideal conditions for recreation and escape from everyday life. The peninsula’s ancient roads unfold between the impressive volcanic formations and the pine trees, leading us to the endless azure of the sea and the sky. That’s why we invite you to participate in the 1st Methana Crossing, organized by Katheti and volcanotrails.gr. The old trails hiking will take place on Sunday October 23rd and will begin at 9:30 am.

 

The participation cost is €10 per person. The price includes food at the end of the hike and return by bus from the volcano to the port of Methana Loutropolis.

The route

The port of Methana Loutropolis will be the meeting point. The 1st Methana Crossing will start from there. We will walk together along the old Methana trails to the volcano. The length of the route is 9.2 km with an ascent of 600m.

In order to walk safely, we must have suitable mountain shoes, a backpack, at least 1.5 liters of water, some snacks, a change of clothes and a windcheater.

 

 

It is a charming but demanding route, entirely on the well-preserved old cobblestone paths, used for centuries by the locals. Those who decide to participate should be in good physical condition as we will walk for about 5 hours. If you decide to drop out there are many places on the mountain that a car can pick you up.

Starting from the port of Loutropolis, we will pass through Stavrolongos and Makrilongos, the two large fertile plateaus of Methana, and the ghost village in Sterna Gabrou, to end up at the volcano of Kameni, where food and the bus will be waiting for us. The return is expected at 6 p.m.

 

 

Ilias Rizos from Volcanotrails and volunteers will reveal Methana’s secrets along the route. Get ready for an unforgettable crossing, during which we will get to know each other better and share our love for nature and trails. In the 1st Methana Crossing, we will explore a diverse place, with inexhaustible natural and cultural wealth.

Katheti promotes alternative activities, which enhance sustainable development, which does not exhaust the region’s resources. We explore all these elements that make up the special character of our place. From the well-known and unknown beaches of Poros, Troizinia and Methana to fishing tourism, local products, the handmade creations of local craftsmen and women, local visual artists and books with a local flavor.

Participation cost €10 per person, including food and return by bus.
