The bridge of Agios Bessarion, which has stood imposingly since 1514, was the only passage until 1936 of South Pindos to and from the Thessaly plain and is a place of unique beauty. A few kilometers above Pyli are the infamous artificial waterfalls of Paleokarya from where, following the route, we will visit the Koziakas ski center and the mountainous villages of Elati and Pertouli. In Pertouli we will have a short stay for coffee and return to Elati. Elati, immersed in dense fir forests, fully justifies its name.
