Things to do
Between the mountain and the sea there is something for every pace, from a slow walk on the beach to a 70-metre waterfall abseil.
Two marked trails start from Stomio and one from Karitsa. Most of the way runs through chestnut, fir and plane forest with views over the Aegean. From the summit you see Mount Olympus, Pelion, the Thessaly plain, Halkidiki, and on very clear days Meteora and Mount Athos.
A shaded trail that follows the Velika gorge from the sea up to the village of Melivia, under plane, walnut and chestnut trees and thick ferns.
Above the seaside village of Kokkino Nero, on the road to Karitsa, a dirt track leads into the Kalypso gorge. Its waterfall drops about 70 metres into clear natural pools, one of the finest canyoning spots in Europe.
Kissavos has many forest routes with sea views, cool springs and traditional villages along the way. There are easy rides along the coast and a dedicated downhill trail with jumps for experienced riders.
The Kissavos coastline is made for paddling: long sandy beaches, small coves, dunes, pebble bays and sea caves beneath steep wooded cliffs.
Stomio beach has some of the best wind conditions on this coast for windsurfing, kitesurfing and paragliding, through most of the year.
In winter the summit of Kissavos is often covered in snow and becomes a place for mountaineering and ski touring, while the coast below stays mild.
