This amazing day you will hike from the cosmopolitan seaside Batsi to the highest slopes of Palaipolis. Part of the venetian trail who connected west to east, this old cobbled path will lead you to one of the most impressing natural sights of the island, the Palaiopoli waterfall. With splendid views to the Aegean Sea and to the submerged old port of the ancient city there is nothing more challenging than a session of rappel to go lower and reach the village.

Meet your guide in the morning at the starting point at Ano Pitrofos and join one awesome combo activity day. Enjoy splendid views of the sea, reach the high mountain of Kouvara, walk on ancient paths, listen to stories and legends from our guides,  and let us take you on a journey back in time following the old Venetian footsteps Along the route you experience two rappels and descend two successive waterfalls of approximately 60 meters high. The journey doesn’t stop here! A short break for a refreshment at the traditional “kafeneo” and then a nice downhill to the sea. It’s time to swim and snorkel at the bottom of the sea and the ancient port. 

At the end of the tour drop off at the meeting points.
