Activity Description

Hiking in Xerovouni! A wonderful mountain route in the heart of Evia for the whole family!

Xerovouni in Central Evia is a continuation of the mountain complex of Dirfyos. Its highest peak, Portaris, reaches an altitude of 1,453 meters. Although "Xerovouni" has rich vegetation consisting mainly of pines, firs, beech and chestnut forests.

Our meeting point is the picturesque village of Steni, from where we go to the starting point for Hiking in Xerovouni in just a few minutes with our vehicles. We start our route enjoying the impressive view of Mount Dirfys on our left and Xerovouni on our right. The two mountains are awe-inspiring, as they are the highest points of Evia, with an altitude of 1,743 m and 1,453 m respectively. Then we hike on our path, in a crowded forest, rich in flora. Do not be confused by its name, as Xerovouni is nothing but "dry", since there are many springs and great vegetation of evergreen and deciduous trees! We reach the Xerovouni Plateau, where we enjoy the stunning views of the surrounding peaks and the alpine landscape.
