Routes in Dragouteli

Mount Dragoudelis, also known as Itamos, is the main mountain mass of Sithonia in Halkidiki, offering rich opportunities for hiking and cycling within a lush natural environment. Each October, the Cultural Association “Parthenon” organizes the “Dragoudelis Crossing,” one of the most popular autumn events in the region. The event includes eight hiking routes and one cycling route, aiming to raise public awareness about the forest wealth and natural environment of the area.

The trails vary in difficulty and length, allowing individuals with different fitness levels to enjoy nature. Within the forest, there are paths ideal for hiking and mountain biking, while from the mountain’s peak, there is an unobstructed and enchanting view towards Sithonia, Kassandra, and Mount Athos.

Additionally, in the central forest zone near the peak, there are rare and ancient yew trees, from which the mountain derives its name. The oldest yew is approximately 2,000 years old and is a preserved natural monument.

By participating in the Dragoudelis routes, visitors have the opportunity to experience the rich flora and fauna of the area, enjoy the tranquility of the forest, and connect with the cultural heritage of the traditional settlement of Parthenon. This experience offers a unique connection with the nature and tradition of Halkidiki.
