The beautiful natural environment and the good climate of the area, offer the possibility of numerous activities in both mountain and sea. For those who love action, the options are many. The area around Litohoro and Dion, the national park of Mount Olympus and the coastline of the region are ideal for hiking, climbing, mountain biking and canoeing, while in our estate we often organise yoga seminars
and alternative therapy sessions.
CANYONING
Canyoning is the descent into the canyon. It is done by walking on the beds of ravines, followed by waterfalls descent with ropes, using the technique of Rappel. It is organised in small groups of 6-10 people who are always accompanied by at least two experienced guides / mountain instructors. Best season is from March to November however, it can also be done carefully during the summer months, provided that the gorge of interest retains sufficient water flow.
