Overview

Zaros is known from the antiquity for the water spring which still provides fresh water. The forest of Rouvas, in the gorge of Saint Nicholas, is an important ecosystem of holly trees of national interest.

What's included

  • Experienced, English speaking trekking guide
  • Trekking equipment (trekking poles and backpack) upon request
  • Snack pack (energy bar, fruit, water)
  • Free transport from/to your hotel with our vans (if you are within the predefined pick-up area)
  • Two Bottles of water per person
  • • Anything that it is not mentioned at the "Price includes" list

What to expect

The hiking path starts from the lake of Zaros and it is part of the E4 trail. We follow the path in the gorge of Agios Nikolaos, where we walk along the river bed, which has a lot of water on spring and several waterfalls and ponds are formed. After 2 hours (almost 5 km) we will find ourselves at the enchanting holly forest of Rouvas. At Ai Giannis, we will find a landscaped picnic area. There is a mountain shelter, toilets, benches and a spring where we can enjoy a brief snack.
At this point we will have to decide if we will continue to the location “Dyo Prini”, where we can admire the view to the forest of Rouvas, Zaros and Messara plane, or if we will return to the lake.
