T onight it just felt a little bit chilly. It’s only the beginning of September, could this mark the end of hot weather?? It cant be. I dont want it to be! But as soon as I sat in front of my computer, I felt the urge to go through some of my winter photos. The photos from one of our sunday hikes popped up. From Omalos plateau to the Kallergi mountain refuge.
Zero degree of difficulty, no technical path, no big distance. But so revitalizing! A perfect short getaway. And an equally perfect reminder of the things to come this winter!!
Overview of the Omalos plateau as we start to ascend.
The first encounters of snow. Which is disappointingly few considering it is mid January.

Just trying to be a Bresson in the mountain.
Melintaou summit covered by clouds.
An overlook of the Samaria Gorge from Kallergi.
On such a wonderful day, people are paragliding over the White Mountains. Pure joy!
Till the next hike,
