This guidebook presents four specially devised treks in the mountains of Greece, showcasing its beautiful scenery, rich flora & cultural interest. The Peloponnese Way crosses the Peloponnese peninsula from Dhiakofto in the north to Pantazi beach in the south, via Tripoli. Taking in alpine meadows, a dramatic gorge & forest-clad slopes, the 220km route can be walked in around a fortnight. The 460km Pindos Way is a south-north traverse of Greece`s mountain backbone, & can be walked in a month, or split into sections of around a week. With remote terrain, navigational challenge & fewer facilities on route, it is the toughest of the four treks but offers a unique chance to experience both the country`s wilderness & traditional mountain life.

With clear mapping alongside detailed route description for each stage of the treks, as well as background information about the region & a Greek-English glossary. ...
