BENEFITS OF HIKING
ZAKYNTHOS ACTIVITIES
- Lower your risk of heart disease
- Improve your blood pressure and blood sugar levels
- Boost bone density, since walking is a weight-bearing exercise
- Build strength in your glutes, quadriceps, hamstrings, and the muscles in your hips and lower legs
- Strengthen your core
- Improve balance
- Help control your weight
- Boost your mood. "Research shows that hiking has a positive impact on combating the symptoms of stress and anxiety," says Gregory A. Miller, PhD, president of the American Hiking Society. "Being in nature is ingrained in our DNA, and we sometimes forget that."

SPIROS
My name is Spiros Plessas, born and grew up in Zakynthos Island. I have lived (studied and worked as a civil engineer) in Athens for some years, but the crazy daily rhythm of the big city is not for me. I came back to my roots, with a vision: to rediscover my home Island, to find the alternative and the authentic. Since 2015, I have been studying and finding unique tracks, all around Zakynthos.
My interest is not only about hiking or biking. It’s also about history, local society, culture, tradition, flora, and fauna. And all this information I share and exchange with you during our explorations.
