One of the main hiking explorations one can make based in Nestorio is the long but beautiful and easy trek to the summit of Alevitsa.
The trail starts within the village and climbs towards the settlement’s old water source. After an hour we will enter a network of agricultural and forest roads leading to the summit.
In the first part of the route, the most interesting element is the superb view towards Nestorio and the Aliakmonas valleys. In the sparse rocky outcrops, depending on the season, we will find small reptiles and unusual wildflowers, and many orchids.
Higher up, we will lose ourselves in the endless beech forests.
