Excursions / Sightseeing
Evritania
Prefecture is an enchanting place, one of the most beautiful areas in
Greece. It is exceedingly green all year round, as it is full of verdant
valleys, canyons and natural cascades (in the world renowned Padavrehei),
majestic grottos adorned with stalactites and stalagmites, a
particularly rich wild life (wild boars, wolves, bears, roes, a great
number of predators and wild trout in Episkopi lake), as well as the
largest earth dam in Europe (in Kremasta lake).
It
is a place of hospitality, steeped in folk color, with many considerable
monuments (the Byzantine monasteries of Tatarna and Proussos) and a
notable history (an ancient legend tells of the archer Evritos, after
whom the area was named, who was killed by the god Apollo when he dared
challenge the god in a duel); it is a place that invites visitors to
wander through it and live a truly rare experience.
With
Hotel Spa Montana as your starting point you can organize dozens of
small or large-scale excursions around the area.
