Argassi Hiking Trails

Hiking from Skopos to Argassi through the hills

Hiking from Skopos to Argassi through the hills

This route, in combination with the “Hiking from Skopos to Kalamaki–Vrontonero / Kanalos–Argassi” trail, connects Mount Skopos with Argassi and Kalamaki.

A good way to combine them, provided your fitness level allows it, is to start from Argassi following the Kanalio route. After beginning your descent toward Kalamaki and reaching the junction point, you can then hike back up toward Skopos and from there follow the trail that passes through the hills and leads back to Argassi.

This scenic route through the back hills of Argassi is an excellent alternative if you do not wish to repeat the same descent from the mountain. It is also suitable if you have enough energy, as it is a slightly demanding trail, with most of the terrain being rough and uneven. In the final section, the path connects to a paved road that brings you back down to the central area of the village.

A Quick Safety Note

The summer heat in Zakynthos can be intense, so we recommend starting these hikes early in the morning or late in the afternoon to ensure a safe and comfortable experience. Make sure to wear proper footwear, carry enough water, bring some snacks, and take regular breaks to fully enjoy the journey.

Enjoy your exploration and let the adventure begin!
