lia of the four seasons. Our journey begins in Ilia, to a destination unexplored and unspoiled. The area is low-key with really fantastic nature. Rivers starring Alpheus, the old bridge of the railway line is of unique beauty. Waterfalls, with the most famous being the waterfalls of Neda with the green gorge and the crystal clear waters. Kefalochori mansions and, of course, the unique local gastronomy.
In autumn, it is worth visiting the foggy oak forest of Foloi's (a huge natural oak forest included in the NATURA 2000 network). The oak forest of Foloi was the residence of the Centaurs. It takes its name from the Centaur Folos and is associated with Hercules' feats, such as the capture of the Erymanthus Boar.
One of the most important villages of the region with the glamor of another era, ideal for your winter getaways, is Lampeia.
Of course, you should not neglect to visit Andritsaina. The jewel of mountainous Ilia. The winter landscape will be unforgettable, and the history of the place will win you over, as well as the local cuisine based on meat, honey, raisins, and sesame.
Spring finds Ilia green and flowery. The weather is ideal for a trek to Ancient Olympia and the temple of Epicurean Apollo known as the "Parthenon of the Peloponnese".
In summer, you will be welcomed by the dreamy beaches of the area, such as Rachon beach, Kato Samiko, and Zacharo beach.
At the same time, you can enjoy your walk in the cosmopolitan Katakolo and admire the Strofilia Forest up close.
