Tropélus

Taking the floating footbridge and walking around the island of Agios Achilleos is well worth the detour. You’ll have the chance to spot many different species of birds, including pelicans and egrets, cormorants, moorhens and swans… The contrast between the island’s greenery and the much drier mountains is striking. We recommend using the binoculars set up on the hill next to the car park: from there, you can see large wetlands. There are also binoculars set up on the island, 100 metres from the church, on the island’s first hilltop.

If you’re passing through Florina, make the most of it and go for a lovely hike in the surrounding mountains! You’ll mainly be following small paths through the forest. You’ll cross meadows with lovely scenery and, towards the end, some rather surprising sandy terrain. Remember to charge your mobile phone: GPS is very useful, as there aren’t many signposts.

A pleasant walk above Buis-les-Baronnies, along the foot of Roche Saint-Julien

A very easy walk starting from the hamlet of Moulin de Cost. Please note: do not park at the campsite, as the manager does not allow it. Park near the Rd72 at Moulin de Cost.

A ride on the peaks of the Massif de Crussol, 20 minutes from Valencia via the castle.
