VYROS GORGE WALK

VYROS GORGE WALK THURSDAY 5TH SEPTEMBER 2013

This was the first walk of our autumn walks programme. It saw 20 of us leave the square in Kardamilli and head out to the old town of Kardamilli where we given a short talk the history of the Mani and Kardamilli by the curator of the museum there. Onward and we started our climb up past the tombs of Castor and Pollocks the heavenly twins. The climb continued up almost to Aghios Sofia. We then turn away from Ag Sofia and started our descent down into the Vyros gorge. On reaching the gorge we took a well deserved break before we started to traverse down the gorge's river bed. On the way down we stopped off and climbed up to Lakai Monastery. Before continuing on down and back to Kardamilli. Lunch was taken at the Diosukouri tavern overlooking Kardamilli harbour.
