Gortsia – Petrostrouga – Plateau of the Muses
The starting point of the hiking route is the Gortsia area (14 km. from Litohoro).
From here begins the mountain trail, which takes us to the “Plateau of the Muses” and the refuges “Hristos Kokkalos” (or “refuge C”, at the height of 2650 metres) and “Yossos Apostolidis” (the highest Greek refuge at 2700 metres).
The two thirds of your six-hour-long walk will be through a beautiful forest, leaving the remaining one third to be done in alpine scenery with low vegetation. Attention: make sure to carry enough water supplies as you will come across no running water on your way. Your first point of reference will be the plateau “Barbas”. Your next one will be a cistern. In between the two you will be walking up a beech forest.
At the height of 2000 metres there is the spot called Petrostrouga, known for the age-old white pine trees. Go further up to get to the “Skourta” peak (2485 m.) in the alpine ambience. If you ever have enough of the breathtaking view all around you, continue on the narrow ridge to the Plateau of the Muses. Entering the plateau, the path splits in two. The left part leads to the “Hristos Kakkalos” refuge (30 mins) and the right one to the “Yossos Apostolidis” refuge (40 mins). Take short walks from the former to the peak Toumba (2801 metres) and from the latter to the peak Profeetees Eleas (2803 metres).
