Mount Kaliakouda (2101 m.) is like a twin to Chelidona; separated only by Karpenisiotis river, the two are of almost equal height. An ideal destination for adventure-seekers, it stands out for the wildness of its nature and thanks to its contiguity with other mountains, it may serve as a base for several days of exploration.The Panta Vrechi (always raining) gorge- taking its name from the constant "rainfall" created by a great number of small waterfalls above-, is very popular among summer hikers, while the network of forest roads linking Kaliakouda to Oxia is perfect for mountain biking. The Krikelopotamos river flows behind the mountain, near the not easily accessible villages Doliana and Roska.
Nearby village Domnista has been inhabited since the prehistoric era. Fighting took place on and around the mountain during the greek war of independence. Greeks were defeated at the bloody battle of Kaliakouda that began on August 28, 1823, leaving more than 2000 dead and wounded on both sides. The region served as a base for resistance fighters during WWII.
Kaliakouda is located 292 km away from Athens and 323 km from Thessaloniki.
