It is considered one of the most beautiful hiking trails in Greece and some dare even inEurope with a length of twelve kilometers that lead to the sea in Kallianou beach. It is divided into two parts, the upper gorge thatreaches down to the deserted Lenoseoi village is extremely wild,with steep rocky slopes and deep streams, while the lower gorge thatdescends towards the sea becomes a narrow and less impervious valley.

A wonderful naturethrough a forest of chestnut trees, wild olive trees, fruit trees,oaks, holly trees, centuries old plane trees, colorful flowers andspecies that are now almost unobtainable, a rare and varied wildlifeof owls, eagles, buzzards, nightingales, turtles and salamanders .The highest part is wetter and colder than the canyon and thevegetation is completely different from the final part as it is muchhotter.

Its name comes from thesmall river Dimosaris which rushes all year round from the top ofMount Ochi through the gorge to the sea.

Halfway there is therural Lenoseoi village where above everything becomes primitiveand steep, especially suitable for trekking experts. Below, however,everything turns into a valley that runs along the river covered byhuge trees that prevent the sun from entering in some places, betweenbubbling streams until you reach the sea where you can enjoy a nicerefreshing dip in the Aegean after a magical walk among a forest fullof scents and life.

Starting right from the topof Monte Ochi you will walk on the ancient medieval path with apavement paved with large pebbles.
