Destination for all seasons!

South Kynouria

Το φυσικό ανάγλυφο της περιοχής είναι ιδιαίτερο και προσφέρεται όλες τις εποχές του χρόνου για μικρές και μεγάλες αποδράσεις, αφού ο επισκέπτης μπορεί να επιλέξει ανάμεσα σε θάλασσα και βουνό ή ακόμη και να τα συνδυάσει. Αν πάλι προτιμάτε το βουνό μπορείτε να πεζοπορήσετε σε παρθένα μονοπάτια, χαραγμένα μέσα σε ένα πλούσιο φυσικό τοπίο, να αναρριχηθείτε στον επιβλητικό ‘’κοκκινόβραχο’’ και τις δεκάδες κοντινές αναρριχητικές διαδρομές, να πάτε εκδρομές στα γύρω γραφικά χωριά, να επισκεφτείτε τις παραδοσιακές απόκρημνες μονές και τα ξωκλήσια της περιοχής, αλλά και να πάρετε μια γεύση αρχαιοελληνικού πολιτισμού περιδιαβαίνοντας τα μυκηναϊκά και δωρικά ευρήματα και μνημεία.

Leonidio is also an ideal destination for mountain biking. Mount Parnon, with its rich fir forests and its majestic scenery, has a particularly wide network of rural roads and trails, which can create unforgettable experiences for mountain biking lovers.

Finally, our guests can rent their bikes from our partner and enjoy a relaxing ride in the alleys and the friendly streets of Leonidio, or go a little further and reach the picturesque village of Poulithra to go for a dive in the clear waters of the Myrtoan Sea.
