Gigilos summit adventure
Overview
I am a local expert hiking leader at While mountains range (incluted Gigilos).
Gigilos is a mountain impresive, wild, with its own haracter.l have been numerous of times to Gigilos by my own and with costumers.
I know everything about the perfecture and its history plants and animals.My family is also from the surround area and in the past we all were people from the mountains.
Every one who can be at Gigilos peak can have a great idea how is the west side of the White mountains range. And the feeling of the difference of the altitute plus the suround view and the wildness of the greist white colour of the rock in a complete alpine zone is unbeleivable.

There starts the hike on a stipy path with view to the gorge of Samaria , the picks of the White mountains and the Omalos plateu. For tje first part we meet some trees like cypresses and prunus with strange shape usually because of the weather conditions all over the year (snow, wind e.t.s.).
