Kakarditsa, Mountain summit in Tzoumerka range, Greece

Kakarditsa is the highest peak in the Tzoumerka mountain range of central Greece, rising 2,429 meters above sea level. Marked trails connect nearby villages such as Melissourgoi, Matsouki, and Athamania to the summit.

Kakarditsa is the northernmost section of the Athamanika mountains, and some geographical works treat it as a separate range rather than part of Tzoumerka. Its highest summit, at 2,429 m, lies between Melissourgoi and Athamania. The massif is bounded by the Negri and Monodendri streams, which separate it from the Lakmos, and by the Melissourgitiko river to the south.

Six villages ring the massif: Kalarrytes and Matsouki in Ioannina, Melissourgoi in Arta, and Agia Paraskevi (Tzourtzia), Gardiki and Athamania in Trikala. Their names mark the old routes between Epirus and Thessaly, and the Vlach-speaking herders of the Pindus hinterland used these slopes for summer pasture.

The summit lies between Melissourgoi in Arta and Athamania in Trikala, and the villages of Kalarrytes, Matsouki, Agia Paraskevi (Tzourtzia) and Gardiki ring the massif. The massif is bounded by the Negri and Monodendri streams toward the Lakmos to the north and by the Melissourgitiko river toward the southern Tzoumerka. Plan access from these settlements, since the sources describe no marked trail to the top.
