Northern Greece
Fly Fishing and horseback riding in Arista Greece
and horseback riding
We traveld to three areas in Greece for 14 days. The first part of the trip was in Northern Greece was in the small village of Arista in the Zagori municipal district near/in the National Park of Vikos. Vikos national park was founded in 1973 and encompasses 33,000 acres comprised of lakes, rivers, mountains, deep canyons and thick forest. We stayed in a top hotel designated by National Geographic as a “Unique Lodge of the World”‘. It truly was a great hotel with great views, fine dinning on a stone patio, exquisite rooms and bathrooms and indoor sauna and pool. The Hotel is called Arista Mountain Resort and Villas.
From Arista Mountain Resort near the Albania border we went: fly fishing, hiking, biking, rafting and horseback riding
The lodge had great dinning and views
The fishing was superb and the scenery was spectacular. My guide was just so nice, professional and helpful and was the perfect guide. Setting up the line
The river we fished and what views
Travers here getting a lot of “hits”
After a morning of fly fishing I went horseback riding along the same river. The vendors name is Via Natura and they provide: horseback riding, river rafting and so on
it was an easy ride along the river
we took some small trails along the way = love the ears
and rode alongside some rafters
riding under one of the stone bridges
nice trail along the way
WE never galloped but it was a relaxing 1/2 day of riding in a serene place
