Meet your tour leader at the Pertouli village square
Meet your guide in the heart of Pertouli for an introduction to the route and a short safety briefing before beginning the hike.
Leave the village behind and follow a quiet rural dirt road surrounded by the fir forest. The gradual ascent provides an easy introduction to the route as you begin gaining height above Pertouli.
Continue onto the mountain path running along the edge of the Mana Gorge. Enjoy open views across the gorge and surrounding slopes, with opportunities to observe birds and the natural environment.
Reach the Boudoura area, the highest section of the experience. Take a short break and enjoy the mountain surroundings before beginning the return journey.
Enter the dense University Forest of Pertouli and follow the descending trail beneath the fir trees. The character of the walk changes as the route leaves the more exposed mountain terrain and returns deep into the forest.
Pass the remains associated with the British Headquarters used during World War II, one of the route's most interesting cultural landmarks. Take a short stop before continuing towards the village.
Follow the final forest paths back towards Pertouli and finish the circular hike at the village square.
Discover another side of Pertouli on a guided hike through forest, mountain and gorge landscapes, following one of the area’s established hiking routes towards Boudoura.
The experience begins in Pertouli village square and gradually leaves the village behind along a quiet rural track surrounded by dense fir forest. As the route climbs gently towards Boudoura, the trail reaches the edge of the Mana Gorge, opening panoramic views across the rugged mountain landscape.
This part of the route is particularly rewarding for nature lovers, with opportunities to observe birds and enjoy the changing vegetation of the mountain as you move between forest and more open terrain.
After reaching the Boudoura area, the route turns back towards Pertouli and begins its descent through the University Forest. Beneath the fir trees, the trail passes the remains associated with the British Headquarters from World War II, adding an unexpected historical element to the journey.
From here, continue downhill through the forest until the trail returns to Pertouli village, completing a circular route of approximately 5.8 kilometres.
With around four hours on the trail and a moderate level of difficulty, this experience offers a rewarding introduction to hiking around Pertouli without requiring a demanding summit ascent.
It is a journey through some of the elements that define the destination: deep forest, mountain views, quiet trails and stories hidden within the landscape.
