It is one of the most beautiful mountainous routes in Greece, going through unique mountains, gorges, and slopes, following (in essence) the evolution of the country’s most beautiful mountain range, Pindos.
The route from Nafpaktos to Agrafa winds through authentic, raw, imposing places – most of them, in fact, remain unknown to the wider public. Here, one will encounter endless ridges, “alpine” landscapes and meadows, climb impressive cliffs, and plunge into deep gorges. In addition, you will be greeted by lush green forests, shady gorges, and rivers with crystal clear waters, all of which comprise a special ecological paradise in the heart of Greece. A landscape of authentic, untouched, and exceptional natural beauty.
In this region, time usually has its own rhythm, and even in summer, in the mountain villages you need a jacket from the afternoon hours onwards.
From Nafpaktos you climb up to mountainous Nafpaktia, passing through Elatou and Ano Hora, and you reach Platanos to continue to Domnista and Krikelo, ending up on the main road to Karpenisi. Turn left, here, passing through the town, and continue to Viniani and from there to Kerasohori and Krenti. That’s where a riverside road (paved with asphalt) starts, next to the river Agrafiotis, which is always on your left. There are a couple of bridges that go over it, until it finally ends in Agrafa.
