Hiking on the Achlada Plateau (Achlad-Dere)

Duration 4–5 hoursGrade 2/4From €20

Starting at the upper part of the settlement of Chrysa (Psycological center of Xanthi) we go downhill to the stream of Chrysa, following the trail next to the water line. Continuing beside the canyon we see the changes in the vegetation, from low altitude to mountainous (oak). We cross the forest with the beautiful season’s colors, where we pass by abandoned kilns, old huts and meadows, reaching the big watering trough at the location Achlada.
