Detailed itinerary
1
Our hiking tour route starts from the mountainous village of Arni (alt.470 m) with important history back to the 14th century. The "arvanitika" language remains in use in the region today although it is spoken by few. The path runs through fertile ravines, old abandoned farmhouses, crosses the slopes of "Arni", meets forests of oak trees, planes, chestnut and walnut trees, as we descend to Remata.
2
The location of the village Remata is one of the greenest on the island with rich vegetation, running water from the river of Arni. In the green stream old farmhouses, stoned grape mills, threshing floors are hiding, but even stalactites and stalagmites over the river bed. The scenery changes and gets wild with dense low vegetation, as we descend the path towards the beautiful unspoiled beach of Lefka crossing the river surrounded by reeds.
3
Time to rest and swim. Experience your most enjoyable swim on one of the most pristine beaches on the island where the river Arni flows, creating a unique aqueduct. Enjoy your brunch at the beach.
