Happy Traveller Season 10 Episode 14 Mount Giona 2023

Eutychis and Elektra return to Greece with a trek dedicated to the country's fifth highest mountain. They circle the mountain passing through the historic Amfissa, formerly known as Salona. They go "into the mountain", into the mines of Fokida, and with the miners' wagon go 500 meters into the heart of Giona to learn all about the mining history of the mountain. They see the artificial lake of Mornos that was created in the 1980s to cover the capital's water supply needs. They arrive at Lidoriki, which went down in history as a stronghold of the fighters of Roumeli in the revolution of 1821. They pass through the village of Sykia, which is one of the villages with the most impressive location in all of Greece, and finally arrive at Kaloskopi, where they spend the night. Finally, they start to conquer another peak and after an adventurous hike with too much wind, they will set foot on the pyramid-summit at an altitude of 2508 meters.
