Description

Meg. Rachi (673m) and Skaros (664m) from Nikiana (0m) on Lefkada.
Initial section on dirt/gravel tracks but then finding some lovely mountain paths. Also some cross-country to join things up. Navigation demanding due to quality of map. Scrambled down a dry waterfall when one shortcut didn't work out (paths don't seem to be marked on the maps).
Very hot (35C+) and sunny. Probably a bigger weather challenge than some of the winter stuff I've done in Scotland. Glad of swim in sea afterwards!

Area : Greece

This 2,918-m. peak is the highest in Greece & was known as the home of the gods in mythology.
