Menalon Trail DAY 2: Dimitsana to Vytina.
Trail Running Route
Hard
26.6 km
1,130 m
27km + 1000m elevation gain.
After leaving Dimitsana, you venture high up into the mountains. The treeline reaches the summits, and paths often opened up to plateaus, throwing you off a sense of progress after a hot climb.
A small village, Elati, acts as a lunch stop. A 1km climb off the main trail led us to a deserted village. The local taverna was locked and nobody around—all except two dogs who were more than happy to help us eat our only Cliff Bar.
