About this experience

The park offers activities for all ages, varying in difficulty and intensity. Swings over the river, trampolines, and other exercises at the outdoor gym. The more adventurous can climb treehouses or use the cable car. There's plenty of space for ball games.

From the park, a steep (marked with red signs) trail begins. We walked for over an hour among majestic firs and other trees. We reach 1,260 meters in altitude to admire the panoramic view towards the Maliakos Gulf. And the 'Iron Throne,' a spectacular construction reminiscent of Game of Thrones.

We conclude the hike at the 'Musikoni' bridge, shaped like piano keys. The resemblance isn't just visual; as we cross it, piano music plays. On the opposite bank of the Asopos, the Hydropower Museum operates. Traditional arts and crafts once powered by water are housed in a stone-built complex, including the sawmill, watermill, Manta, and the water slide (Tristila).

Detailed itinerary

Following the main trail, where the colors and shadows of ancient trees reflect in the waters of the Asopos River and the small waterfalls awe, visitors encounter a series of surprises that turn a walk into an adventure, making time fly pleasantly in a unique natural environment.

Our journey begins within the park. We're accompanied by a natural landscape of plane trees, walnut trees, chestnut trees, and other vegetation. Their greenery, combined with the red-yellow carpet of fallen leaves, creates a wonderful color palette. The path crosses the Asopos River several times, with wooden bridges spanning it, while humorous, imaginative, and informative signs succeed one another.
