Full description

A unique guided hiking up to the mythical Dragon Lake in Greece, explore the beauty of nature, take memorable photos of cliffs and wild goats, and discover the small village of Papingo.
The route is mostly uphill and in the middle of it is the Astraka shelter.
During the tour visitors may take a few breaks to drink water from the springs while observing flowers with vivid colors (mostly wild lily) growing at high altitudes.
At the end of the route (and about 2,000 meters altitude) there is Drakolimni Lake where visitors may take a break to absorb the breathtaking views.
