The wild, panoramic finale of the peninsula, a rocky ridge above the meeting of two seas.

The walk

From the Panagia chapel a circular route climbs the twin summits of Floka (547 m) and Evzonos (644 m) of the Tisaios range, with sweeping views over the Pagasetic Gulf, the Aegean, the Sporades and Evia.

Good to know

  • Demanding, ~741 m of climbing on exposed, rocky ridge; sturdy boots essential, slippery when wet.
  • No water and no shade, carry water and sun protection.
  • Best winter to spring (Dec to Apr); avoid the summer heat.
  • Trailhead coordinates to be confirmed before we add the Google Earth link.
