PIGI and PLATSA

PIGI and PLATSA 7TH OCTOBER 2015

Todays walk saw 12 of us climb from Pantazee beach up to the mountain villages of Pigi and Platsa. It was another fantastic day but on the warm side. The weather here in the Western Mani is still in the high 20's. Several stops were made on the climb to the first village of Pigi, to admire the view and a refreshing drink of cool water. At Pigi we took a longer break whilst sat under the shade of the trees near the church. Before we made the final climb to the highest point of todays walk in Platsa. A well deserved beer break was then taken at Yorgios kafenion. Then a leisurely descent via Kotroni and Aghios Dimitrios for lunch at Voulimneas Tavern on Pantazee beach.

PLATSA & NOMITSA

PLATSA & NOMITSA WEDNESDAY 23RD SEPTEMBER

On another beautiful sunny day we walked from the village of Platsa to Nomitsa. There were just 4 of us on the walk taking in the newly built ampitheatre on the outskirts of Platsa and the restored church there which unfortunately was locked. A cool refreshing break was taken in Nomitsa. before our return via the cool springs of Avli near Platsa. Lunch was taken at Yorgios Kafenion in Platsa. Thanks to Liz for providing transport.
