The highest peak of the Peloponnese is on Taygetos at 2407 meters. You can choose between one day trip or two-day trip. We will escort you from the Sparta shelter either for the shorter route or the longer. Starting from the Maganiari spring at 980 meters, where the longer route begins, and on the way to the shelter, by a marked path, we will come across rich fauna and flora which you'll have the chance to photograph. For the shorter route we'll start right outside the shelter, though the mountain's rich flora won't accompany us much longer as the vegetation gradually decreases and the slope into a new rocky environment increases. From the shelter, at the Varvara spot at 1,550 meters, we leave the Laconian side of Taygetos behind us and three hours later, climbing the last few meters of the mysterious 'pyramid' we will meet the roofless chapel of the Prophet Elija. The view of the entire Messinian bay will lie before us.

An unforgettable experience. George was an amazing guide. His knowledge of the mountain and its history is incomparable. The views from the start to the tip of the mountain are breathtaking. If you’re travelling in this part of Greece, you should definitely consider this adventure. Can’t wait for my next adventure with George and the Climb Up team.

Nice hiking tour at Taygetos mountain,from the shelter to the top! A demanding terrain that keeps your interest high, but also accessible for entry lever climbers.
Our guides, George and Alex, were a great company and very good professionals.
See you to the next adventures!
