Easy Hike & Traditional Products Picnic in Beautiful Melissa Gorge

Starting from Lefkada, heading towards the mountainous village of Karya at a distance of 6km we encounter the monument of the villagers who rebelled against English rule in 1819. The road has small turns and leads us after 2km to the dirt road that is the beginning of our excursion. Moving forward we reach the arch who signifies the entrance to the gorge.

Right below is the cave's spring where we can refill our water bottles and carry on. After walking on a beautiful path we reach a clearing and we head towards the Kako Langadi, a path paved with small wooden bridges, waterfalls, small lakes, watermills where the trees, the water, the waterfalls, and the tall rocks create a breathtaking scenery. The end of our route leads us to a kiosk where we can rest and at the same time enjoy the nature.

Heading back we stop at the clearing we saw at the beginning and we have our picnic. All together we return to Lefkada.
