Coffee and orientation in the square

Start from the central square of Prossotsani, a useful landmark for getting your bearings and organizing the rest of the day. Treat yourself to breakfast at a local café: for a coffee and a snack, budget around €4–8 per person.

If you're traveling by car, check on site where parking is allowed.

10:15

Walk through the town center

Spend about 45 minutes exploring the streets near the square, taking in the pace of the town and everyday life. This is an informal visit, with no ticket required, and it's also a good chance to buy water before heading to the cave.

Bring cash with you: not all small businesses may accept card payments.

11:00

Transfer to Aggitis Cave

Drive to Aggitis Cave, also known as Maara; the trip from the center takes about 15–20 minutes, depending on your starting point and the road you choose. If you don't have your own vehicle, check in advance about taxi availability and the fare.

Check opening hours and visiting arrangements before you leave: access may vary depending on the season.

11:30

Visit to Aggitis Cave

Take part in the permitted tour of the underground complex, following staff instructions and staying on the authorized paths. Allow about 60–90 minutes for entry, any waiting time, and the visit; ticket prices may vary, so plan on roughly €8–15 for an adult.

The temperature inside is cooler: a light jacket and shoes with sturdy soles are useful.

13:00

Stop by the river and the springs

After the visit, stop in the outdoor area of the Aggitis River and the springs for a peaceful walk and a few photos. Spend about 45 minutes in the area, respecting the signs and not approaching slippery or inaccessible sections; access to public areas is generally free.

In case of rain or wet ground, keep the walk to the more stable paths.

14:00

Lunch at a local taverna

Choose a taverna in Prossotsani or along the return route and try homemade Greek dishes, seasonal vegetables, and grilled specialties. For a simple meal, budget roughly 15–25 € per person, drinks included; the total depends on what you order.

Ask which dishes are available that day: in smaller places, the menu may be seasonal.

16:00

Return and break in Prossotsani

Head back to town with a transfer of about 15–20 minutes and take a break at a café or pastry shop. Allow 30–45 minutes and around 3–7 € for a drink and a sweet treat.

The break helps avoid packing all the visits into the hottest hours.

17:00

View toward Mount Menikio

Take a short drive through the countryside and enjoy the views toward Mount Menikio, without turning the outing into a mountain hike. Stop only at safe and permitted spots; allow 60–90 minutes in total, including the round trip, and no entrance fee.

The mountain covers a large area: this stop is for the scenery, not a summit climb.

19:00

Dinner and end of the day

Return to the center of Prossotsani to wrap up with a taverna dinner. Set aside about 90 minutes and expect a rough budget of 18–30 € per person, depending on dishes, drinks, and the chosen venue.

If you need to get back to another city, arrange evening transport in advance.
