Lousios Gorge Trekking

Lousios Gorge 位於 Peloponnese 半島中部的峽谷, 一般而言, 比較沒有 Crete 島上的 Samaria gorge 健行來的有名, 但就在我在處理希臘機票問題上, 從瑞航改訂德航之後, 意外多了一天停留, 於是就把之前的行程表, Nafplio一日遊, 想改成到這個山中小鎮峽谷健行, 其實這個健行路程在西方人是很熱衷的, 只是亞洲遊客大概比較沒特別注意.

Lousios Gorge Trekking 沿途會經過的景點其實很豐富, 有修道院, 古跡, 小橋等, 只是資料上都建議最好春秋季去走比較適當, 夏天健行實在太熱了, 但我也有考慮過, 不過, 看到 DK 出版的 Greece (Athens and the Mainland) 裡面介紹到的文章, 實在很嚮往, 裡面寫到

” The Lousios stream in its upper reaches boasts one of the most impressive canyon in Greece. Scarcely 5km long, the Lousios Gorge is nearly 300 deep at the narrowest, most spectacular portion. Because of its remote mountain setting near the very center of Peloponnese, the Lousios region was one of the strongholds of the revolutionaries during the Greek War of Independence. Medieval monasteries and churches cling to the steep cliffs of the gorge, and hiking trails have recently been marked, connecting some of the area’s highlights”

在網路找到一間位於 Dimitsana 的hotel, 有提供健行的tour guiding, http://www.yourgreece.gr/page/default.asp?la=1&id=46&pl=44&pk=36&ap=35

或許, 走過了 Crete溪谷健行, 也來走走這個 Lousios 健行也不錯..
