BEFORE YOU GO
A well-planned trip.
How to get around
To explore the Agrafa, it’s advisable to have a car: the villages are scattered and public transport is limited. The mountain roads can be narrow, winding, and slow to drive, so allow more time than your navigation app suggests. Before setting off, check the road conditions, especially in winter and after heavy rain. Fill up in the larger towns and don’t rely on mobile coverage in every valley.
When to go
Spring and autumn are ideal for walking and enjoying the scenery, with generally milder temperatures; in spring the streams can be especially full. Summer offers days that are good for hiking, but up in the mountains the weather can change quickly. In winter, snow and ice can make some journeys difficult or even impossible: always check local conditions before traveling.
Where to eat
Tavernas are found mainly in the villages and the area’s busier spots; opening hours and days can vary, especially out of season. Look for home-style dishes, grilled meats, cheeses, and savory pies typical of the Greek mountains. During quieter periods, it’s a good idea to call ahead to make sure the place is open and, if needed, to book a table.
Quick tips
- 01Fill up before heading into the more isolated roads and bring water and a few supplies with you.
- 02Compare your navigation app’s directions with the road signs: some routes are slow and not ideal if you’re in a hurry.
- 03For hikes, choose proper footwear and check the forecast, even if the sky is clear at the starting point.
- 04Keep cash on hand: in small villages, card payments may not always be possible.
