Day 1 – From stone bridges to the villages of Tzoumerka

10:00–21:00 Moderate visits, car transfers

Discover a historic bridge, a mountain village, and a waterfall, ending the day in Vourgareli.

10:00

Plaka Bridge

Set aside about 60–75 minutes for the bridge over the Arachthos River: admire the large stone arch and the viewpoints along the banks, while paying attention to the trails and damp ground. The exterior visit is generally a self-guided stroll; allow 0–5 € for any local expenses and check official channels for up-to-date information on accessibility and visiting initiatives. To continue to Agnanta, allow about 20–30 minutes by car on winding roads.

Wear shoes with good grip and check road conditions after heavy rain.

12:00

Agnanta

Allow about 90 minutes for a walk among the village houses and its mountain views; the actual time depends on the routes chosen and photo stops. For lunch, budget roughly 12–25 € per person at a taverna, checking availability and prices on site. From Agnanta to Katarraktis Waterfalls, the drive takes approximately 25–35 minutes.

Stock up on water and ask locals for directions if you plan to reach viewpoints outside the center on foot.

15:00

Katarraktis Waterfalls

Plan on 60–90 minutes to reach the accessible viewpoints and admire the waterfalls in their mountain setting; flow and visibility can vary with the season and rainfall. Visiting the natural area may not require a ticket, but budget 0–5 € for any local costs and check the official guidance on access and trail conditions before setting out. To get to Vourgareli, allow about 30–40 minutes by car, with extra time for the bends and scenic stops.

Do not approach slippery edges, and avoid the trails if the weather or water level makes the route unsafe.

18:30

Vourgareli

Wrap up with a walk of about 1–2 hours around the village, taking in the stone houses and the Tzoumerka landscape; choose a quiet spot for a break before dinner. For an evening meal, budget roughly 15–30 € per person, depending on the dishes and the restaurant. If you leave after dinner, keep in mind that mountain roads are poorly lit and plan your return carefully.

Check accommodation or transport availability in advance if you do not plan to drive to the next destination.
