This guidebook presents four specially devised treks in the mountains of Greece, showcasing its beautiful scenery, rich flora and cultural interest. The Peloponnese Way crosses the Peloponnese peninsula from Dhiakoftó in the north to Pantazí beach in the south, via Trípoli. Taking in alpine meadows, a dramatic gorge and forest-clad slopes, the 220km route can be walked in around a fortnight. The 460km Pindos Way is a south-north traverse of Greece''s mountain backbone, and can be walked in a month, or split into sections of around a week. With remote terrain, navigational challenge and fewer facilities on route, it is the toughest of the four treks but offers a unique chance to experience both the country''s wilderness and traditional mountain life. A shorter 80km Zagóri trek can be enjoyed in its own right or incorporated into the Pindos Way, and the final route explores Mt Olympus, home of the ancient gods of Greek myth and the highest mountain in Greece. With clear mapping alongside detailed route description for each stage of the treks, as well as background information about the region and a Greek-English glossary.

A guidebook to trekking the 220km Peloponnese Way and the 460km Píndos Way through the mountains of Greece, plus a shorter trek in Zagori and an ascent of Mount Olympus, Greece’s highest peak. The routes visit some little frequented and remote parts of the country, and are demanding but not technical. The Píndos Way requires some wild camping.
The Peloponnese Way is described in 14 graded stages of between 7 and 20km, from Dhiakoftó to Pantazí beach. The Píndos Way is presented in 30 graded stages of 8–31km, following Greece’s mountain backbone from Ámfissa to the summit of Mount Grámos. Both routes are presented in sections, for the benefit of those who don’t have time for a full through-hike.

Harry Clarke (1889-1931) was undoubtedly Ireland’s greatest stained-glass artist. Internationally, his name is synonymous with quality craftsmanship and imaginative genius. The use of rich colours, the delicate depiction of beautiful elongated figures with their fine-carved features and deep expressive eyes, is magical to behold. During his short life Clarke created more than 160 stained-glass windows, which can be found in churches, cathedrals, galleries, and private collections throughout the world. This book documents, for the first time, the entire stained-glass collection of Harry Clarke. Never before has every piece been brought together in one volume. Strangest Genius presents Clarke’s brilliance and originality afresh to a twenty-first-century audience.

Experience Greece’s finest trekking adventures on its premier long-distance trails: the 220km Peloponnese Way and the 460km Píndos Way. Traversing the rugged limestone backbone of the country, these demanding but non-technical routes reveal Greece’s wildest, greenest mountain landscapes and offer a spectacular escape into remote regions untouched by mass tourism. For those seeking shorter yet equally stunning options, week-long treks in the Zagóri district and an ascent of Mount Olympus, the legendary home of the gods, are also included.Ideal for walkers with a taste for wilderness and cultural discovery, the Peloponnese Way is described in 14 graded stages (7–20km each), crossing the peninsula from the northern village of Dhiakoftó to the golden sands of Pantazí beach in the south, via Trípoli. Along the way, you’ll traverse alpine meadows, dramatic gorges, and forested slopes, encountering traditional villages and ancient monasteries nestled in the hills.The Píndos Way, a more secluded four-week journey, spans 30 stages (8–31km), following the mountainous spine of Greece from Ámfissa to the summit of Mount Grámos on the Albanian border. This epic trek weaves through lush forests of Greek fir, black pine, and beech, over high passes and deep ravines, and into timeless villages that have changed little over the centuries. Wild camping is required for some sections, adding to the sense of self-reliant adventure. Trek through celebrated Greek landscapes including the forested slopes of the Peloponnese, the dramatic ravines and peaks of the Píndos range, the iconic Vikos Gorge in Zagóri, and the mythic heights of Mount Olympus.Both the Peloponnese and Píndos Ways are best undertaken from late spring to early autumn, when mountain meadows are bursting with wildflowers and the weather is most settled. Snow lingers on the highest peaks until April, and summer brings cooler air to the heights even as the lowlands swelter.These hiking routes in Greece are demanding rather than technical, suitable for fit walkers seeking a true immersion in Greece’s mountain wilderness. Walks are graded (mostly at Grade 3) to reflect the physical commitment required, given the remoteness and lack of organised facilities.Accommodation along the treks in Greece ranges from village guesthouses and mountain monasteries to wild camping, especially on the Píndos Way. Each section includes notes on available facilities, potential campsites, water sources, and public transport access for flexible itineraries.Each stage features a detailed information box with start and finish points, distances, estimated walking times, height gain and loss, and waymarking details. Clear 1:100,000 mapping and practical stage introductions make navigation in Greece straightforward, even in the most remote terrain.Additional routes in the Zagóri region (6 daily stages) and on Mount Olympus (4 daily stages) are included, allowing you to tailor your trek or add extra days of exploration. Plan your Greek trekking adventure with confidence using the definitive Cicerone guidebook, and immerse yourself in the untamed beauty, history, and culture of Greece’s mountain heartlands.
