We begin our tour to the west side of Lake Plastira from the hydroelectric dam. The dam was build in 1959 and since then, blocks the waters of Tavropos river and floods the area called Nevropoli creating Lake Plastira. On one of the two sides of the dam there are small
shops with local products such as honey, sweats and herbs you may also find some souvenirs.
As we leave behind the dam of lake Plastira, we find signs at the right side of the road pointing at educational forest Belokomiti and also at our left side for the ecological hiking paths. At the crossroad to Zigogianeika if we turn left the road will lead us to the Lake’s observatory. The view from up there is astonishing from one side there is the view of the lake and from the other side the mountain tops of Pindus. Heading back to the crossroad and continue our root to village Belokomiti, right before the village we find the turn for Karitsa and Abbey Pelikiti. Belokomitis is olny a few kilometers far from Neochori wich is a head village build few meters above the lake shore, providing a beautiful view of the lake. In Neochori are located most of the Hotels, rooms and villas.
Once again we leave behind us another beautiful village, in this case Neochori, after a few kilometers at our right side we see the sign for the Botanical Garden.

The road for the Ski center is open all year even when it is snowing, the only parts of the road that need attention are the ones that are hidden from the Sun, the road at these points has more snow. The distance is long unti the Ski center but once you re there you will understand why it is worth the way. The beauty of the natural landscape will take you mind and bring you closer to nature.
