Naoussa Vermio Trail

Naoussa, ImathiaOpen in Maps Sunday, 12 September 2027

Two forest races from the Agios Nikolaos grove in Naoussa, where the Arapitsa river rises, into the beech, oak and chestnut woods of Vermio; only 1.5 km of the course is out in the sun. The 24K Amazonios climbs to 1,260 m on the ridge above the town and saves its signature for the end: the Mavrolakas descent, 500 m down in 2 km of tight hairpins. The 10K Ververa takes the lower loop by Profitis Ilias and has its own steep way down.
