You meet your guide who takes you and the other guests up to Lastos, near the highest mountain of Karpathos at 700m above sea level. From there you walk to the lush green forests or Lastos with spectacular viewpoints and historic buildings.
What you might not have heard about is the Lastos hike that takes you from the monastery of Archangelou Mychael through pine-tree forests, spectacular viewpoints where we can see Kyra Panagia and the fertile land in Mertonas which provides Pigadia with water, to waterfalls in the winter and spring. This hike takes you off the grid in a fantastic way that might not be for the hiker who has fear of heights. This tour takes our breath away immediately. Old stavlos and the fertile land gives us a clue about the settlers that once took advantage of this land and made it their own. Goats and sheep are following us along the path, and do not feel alarmed when their bells are ringing in the distance. They are as much part of this land as the rocks we are walking on. Take a minute to feel the quietness of this beautiful landscape when your guide stops the group for a coffee or a snack. Don’t forget our motto – take only pictures, leave no trace.
Across the Miramare Hotel you will find our van waiting for you next to the AutoTour car rental office in Pigadia.
