Hiking Mt. Skoteini, Central Evia
Activity Description
Discover Skoteini – where the mountain meets the secrets of the earth!
A few words about the area
Skotini is an impressive mountain in Evia, which is the natural continuation of Xerovouni to the southeast. The area has two peaks almost at the same height:
- The northern peak is located at 1,361 meters and offers a magnificent view of the lace-like coast of the Aegean Sea.
- The southern peak, at 1,362 meters, is the highest and stands out for its extensive alpine landscape and views of both the Aegean Sea and the Euboean Gulf.
Despite its relatively low altitude, Skoteini impresses with its wild natural beauty. The route passes through an impressive fir forest and between large dolinas, natural depressions in the ground that give the landscape a unique character. During the hike, we will also visit the Seta Sinkhole, a rare geological phenomenon where the waters of a river or stream disappear into the earth through underground passages. The sight is impressive and highlights the dynamics of the subsoil of the area.
