Walks in Pilion -
(the Area Featured In "Mamma Mia!")
This
book describes eighteen walks in the verdant Agios Ioannis, Mouresi, Damouchari (where Mamma Mia! was filmed) and
Tsangarada area of the eastern Pilion of mainland Greece. The area is
noted for its cool, damp winters, and consequently for its lush summer
woodlands, that are criss-crossed by a fine network of well-preserved
donkey-paths (kalderimia).
The book also includes routes to or through Agia Saranda, Banikas, Fakistra, Hania, Horefto, Lambinou, Limnionas, Milies, Mylopotamos and Xourihti.
Large-scale sketch maps of the villages Mouresi and Tsangarada, and the areas around
Lambinou, Limnionas and Mylopotamos, are included within the
text.
Accompanied by an A3 double-sided colour walkers' map of the area, at a
scale of 7.5cm: 1km.
