Astro Camping Mt. Tsmi

Here we will set up the tents and after we change our clothes, do stretching and drink water, we will be left in the magical landscape with the sunlight illuminating our face as we will give you a tour of the mountains that surround us, since east dominates the mountain range of Agrafa, South Delidimi with the village Trovato and west the mountains that are near Lake Stefaniada, the mountains of the valley of Acheloos as well as the mountains of Tzoumerka and Trikala. To the north we have Karava and Voutsikaki as well as the villages of Petrilo and Vlasi which are hidden in these mountains. At the same time, we will be able to observe the various animals grazing on the alpine slopes of the mountains as the sun begins to set, forming interesting shadows and shapes in the landscape.

After sunset, we will enjoy the Venus belt and the shadow of the earth formed in the east with purple pink and blue colors as well as the alpine glow. Then we will put on our warm clothes and enjoy the night that will begin to embrace the mountains with the lights from the villages shining low down on our feet. When the night stabilizes we will get lost in the magical starry world where we will see the nebulae of the galaxy (Milky Way) with the naked eye, we will take astrophotographs and we will paint with light (light painting). At the same time there will be the possibility of astronomical observation with the telescope that we will provide you as well as a fast-paced lesson on how to take astrophotographs.

* There is also the possibility of an astrophotography course for customers who wish, it is a separate program.

Then we will eat some food of your choice (it will have been agreed in advance can be noodles or trachanas, alternatively we can have risotto with vegetables). In the mountains we choose light food. At the same time we will make mountain tea to drink as we will sit under the stars and we will share with you stories from our life in the village and the climbs in the mountains in order to make you love them. It is important to be able to share what you experience and see with other people and thus somehow achieve immortality, by having a unique, romantic and anarchic way of life that on the one hand will frighten and on the other will awe people.

Then you can either sleep in the tent or with the sleeping bag on the ground (bivouac) with the quilt stars or not sleep and sit all night watching the starry sky until dawn. 

At 5:30 a.m. we wake up to enjoy the sobs, the Aphrodite zone / shadow of the earth to the west as well as the alpine glow since the day will return again to the mountains. We will see together the sunrise where the sun will rise above the peaks of Agrafa and will illuminate the peaks of the mountains. At this point we will take photos and eat our breakfast.

Once this is over, at 7:30 p.m. we will pack our things to leave at 8:00 a.m. At 9:00 a.m. We will have reached the shepherds’ hut where we can wash our face in the fountain there. Then we load our things and take the road back. Along the way we can take photos, pick wild strawberries and oregano always with care and respect for the environment. When we reach the village the excursion ends and then you are free to enjoy other activities with us, to rest or to tour Petrilia and the other villages that exist.
