Detalji pohoda

Dan 1: ruta Achladi-Lichadionisia (rastojanje 25-27 km) (zelena linija na mapi). Detaljno razgledanje arhipelaga Lihade (u produžetku poluostrva Lihada, ostrva Evia), obilazak izdvojenog ostrava Strogili (sa svetionikom).

Interesantna mesta/pojave: Prostrane borove šume na padinama Evije sa intenzivnim mirisom smole daleko iznad mora. Reka u moru i vrtlozi (između rta Lihade i najbližeg ostrva, takođe, u manjoj meri, između dva najveća ostrva. Obale ostrva sačinjene od crnih vulkanskih stena, često sunđeraste strukture, žuborenje mora (tj. reka u moru, stare kuće i ruševine, plitko stenovito more, plitke plaže itd.). (vidi Sliku 1 i Sliku 2)

Uslovi veslanja: mirno more, osim tokom presecanja zaliva od Ahladija do rta Vasilina (umereni talasi i vetar)

Dan 2: ruta Lichadionisia-Glifa Cape (Stin Glifa, Agios Sostis) (rastojanje 28-30 km) (žuta linija na mapi).

Interesantna mesta/pojave: Strma stenovita obala Evije od krečnjačkih stena. Veoma raznovrsni oblici. Nekoliko pećina, posebno jedna od njih, prostrana, sa otvorom na vrhu i kolonijom velikih ljiljaka (vidi Slike 3, 4 i 5). Jato delfina pratilo kajak (5-6 njih na rastojanju 30-50 m). Duž te obale postoji nekoliko ribnjaka u moru. Nasip na Agios Sostis (blizu Glife) odvaja malo jezero od mora (vidi Sliku 6).

Uslovi veslanja: Od ostrva do rta Lihade (6 č. ujutru) umereni talasi, mirno more do Anatoly Hliou, popodne, posle 4 č. jak SI vetar sa talasima od 1 m u tesnacu Artemisio (Steno Artemisou). Promenio sam maršutu ka Rtu Glifa umesto da nastavim ka Neos Pirgos – u presekao Steno Artemisou do Rta Glifa (Agios Sostis).

Dan 3: ruta Cape of Glifa - Alogoporos (Trikeri) (rastojanje 32-34 km) (crvena linija na mapi)

Interesantna mesta/pojave: Litice duž obale od granularnih stena. Dva ostrva (Akaliptos Vrahos).

Oko 20 min pratili su me delfini (7-9 njih) dok sam sekao Diavlos Trikeriou (ulaz u Voloski zaliv) koji su se očigledno igrali samnom. Plivali su na rastojanju 5 to 30 m od mene, jasno se videlo da su ronili blizu mene da bi me odozdo bolje osmotrili. Odmorio sam se u Agia Kiriaki (vidi Slike 7, 8, 9 i 10) (to je u stvari novi Trikeri, stari se nalazi iznad na vrhu brežuljka, što je tipično za naselja u Grčkoj). Kao duhovit navodim slučaj tri patke koje progone galeba da mu otmu ribu koju je ulovio (Slika 11). Zapadna obala poluostrva Trikeri je divlja i strma. Severne obale su razuđene.

Uslovi veslanja: Mirno more, umereni talasi.

Dan 4: ruta Alogoporos (Trikeri) - Glifa (rastojanje 35-37 km) (narandžasta linija na mapi).

Uslovi veslanja: Mirno more sa vrlo umerenim talasima. Prolazak velikog broda (Hellenic Seaways) kroz tesnac (Steno Artemisou) izazvao velike talase (koji su se odbili od litica) visoke oko 2 m – odlični za trening veslanja na talalsima čak i surf. Od Glife do male plaže blizu sela Vathikilo SI vetar (duvao mi je u leđa) je podigao talase od 1 m što sam iskoristio za potisak i surf.

Dan 5: Povratak u bazu u Karavomilosu (rastojanje 22-24 km) (ljubičasta linija na mapi).

Voyage details

Day 1: Route Achladi-Lichadionisia (distance 25-27 km) (green line on the map). Thorough survey (sightseeing) of Lichada archipelago, tour to Strogili island (with lighthouse). (see Photo 1 and 2)

Interesting points/phenomena: Vast pine forests on Evia slopes with intensive resin smell long over the sea, river and whirlpool in the sea (between Lichada cape and the nearest island and also between two greatest islands), coast of volcanic black rocks coast, spongy rocks, sea gurgle, old houses and ruins, shalow rocky sea and beaches etc. (see Photo 1 and 2).

Paddling conditions: calm sea except while crossing the bay from Achlady to Vasilina (moderate weavy)

Day 2: Route Lichadionisia-Glifa Cape (Stin Glifa, Agios Sostis) (distance 28-30 km) (yelow line on the map).

Interesting points/phenomena: Steep rocky limestone coast of Evia. Various rocky forms. Several caves, one of them especially (see Photos 3, 4 and 5). Colony of big bats in it. Dolphins (30-50 m to my kayak) - there are several fishponds along the coast. A dam at Agios Sostis separates smal lake from the sea (see Photo 6).

Paddling conditions: From the island to Cape of Lichada (6 AM) moderate weaves, calm sea to Anatoly Hliou, after 4 PM strong NE wind with 1 m waves in Steno Artemisou - I have to change my route to Cape of Glifa instead to continue to Neos Pirgos - and crossed Steno Artemisou to Cape of Glifa - Agios Sostis).

Day 3: Route Cape of Glifa - Alogoporos (Trikeri) (distance 32-34 km) (red line on the map)

Interesting points/phenomena: Cliffs along the coast of granular rocks. Two islands (Akaliptos Vrahos).

About 20 min I was accompanied by dolphins (7-9 of them) while crossing Diavlos Trikeriou (entrance of Volos bay) which obviously played with me. They swimed at 5 to 30 m from my kayak, clearly seen as dive close to me in order to get a better look. I took rest at Agia Kiriaki (see Photos 7, 8, 9 and 10) (actually it is new trikeri, the old one is situated on the top of the hill, typically for vilages in Greece). As a funny case I mention the three ducks chasing a gull to grab a fish he caught (Photo 11).

West banks of Trikeri peninsula are wild and steep. North banks are indented.

Paddling conditions: Calm, very moderate waves.

Day 4: Route Alogoporos (Trikeri) - Glifa (distance 35-37 km) (orange line on the map).

Paddling conditions: Calm, very moderate waves. Passing by of big ship (Hellenic Seaways) trough Steno Artemisou caused big waves (also reflected from the clifs) about 2 m high – good for training and even surf. From Glifa to small beach near Vathikilo vilage waves up to 1 m and NE wind at the back - push and surf.

Day 5: Return to the base in Karavomilos (22-24 km) (purple line on the map)
