ABOUT

Embark on a scenic 7-kilometre journey and immerse yourself in the enchanting landscapes near Kapetaniana.

Starting from the stables of the eco-tourism village of Thalori, you’ll follow a path heading south towards the Goulas Gorge. After about 200 meters of walking along the trail, you’ll arrive at the gorge's entrance. Here, you’ll take a brief break from horseback riding to hike to the Stavros viewpoint. The breathtaking vistas of the Libyan Sea and the charming settlement of Agios Ioannis make the short hike worthwhile.

Once you’ve taken in the views, return to your horses and continue the ride towards Kato Kapetaniana, a picturesque village brimming with tradition and charm.
