Lousios paths

The Lousios paths wind through steep limestone cliffs in the Peloponnese mountains, following the river course through dense vegetation and rocky terrain.

During the 1821 Greek War of Independence, these paths served as secret routes for Greek fighters who used the monasteries as bases.

The network of paths connects numerous Greek Orthodox monasteries, each displaying distinct architectural elements and religious artifacts from different periods.

The paths maintain consistent markings with red paint and signs, requiring sturdy hiking boots and sufficient water supplies for the complete route.

The paths include sections carved directly into vertical cliff faces, creating corridors that hang above the rushing waters of Lousios River.
