Step into the magic of Lakonia as we hike through one of the most enchanting and historic trails in Greece — the Caryatides Trail.

In this video, we explore the legendary plane trees of Menelaos, wander through the traditional village of Karyes, and follow the Oak Trail — one of seven marked routes that make up the 57 km Caryatides Trails network. With golden leaves, ancient forests, and natural springs, this peaceful hike invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and enjoy the sounds of nature.

From the myths of the dancing Caryatids to the forests of Mount Parnon, this journey blends history, nature, and quiet mountain beauty. We end the day with a hearty meal at Taverna Areti, a family-run spot dating back to 1890.

Whether you’re planning a hike in the Peloponnese, love slow travel, or simply want to enjoy a relaxing nature escape, this video is your guide to discovering an unforgettable part of Lakonia.
