Situated north of Metsovo, within the central part of the Pindus range, Mount Lakmos or Peristeri is one of the region's most remote mountains. It is surrounded by peaks of over 1700 meters in height and is only accessible after a long drive through Pindus. More than ten of its peaks exceed the altitude of 2,000 meters and some are steep enough to satisfy even the most demanding thrill-seekers.
According to an ancient myth, Amalthea- Zeus foster mother- gave her legendary horn to river-god Achelous (Acheloos), whose own horn had been broken after a fight with Heracles. In another myth, Acheloos was said to have been formed by the tears of the tragic figure of Niobe, who fled to mount Sipylon after the angry gods murdered her husband and fourteen children.
Around the mountain there are lots of rivers and streams as well as oak forests that during spring transform the area into a colorful painting. Moreover, it is the main “feeder” of the rivers Acheloos and Arachthos.
Most of the hiking trails start from the village Chaliki, on the eastern part, and from the village Anthochori, on the northern part. In Anthochori there are no signs. With the help of the locals, however, it is easy to find the right trail. Chaliki has no sign system either, but this causes no problems as the hiking signs leading to the peak start just outside the village.
Despite the herds grazing at its slopes, the mountain remains to a great extent pristine. The alpine meadows west of the summit are ideal for camping or backcountry skiing. Alpine lake Verliga is just north of Tsoukarela peak, but it remains frozen or hidden under snow until late spring, while it dries up completely in the summer. Peristeri summit offer a panoramic view of mounts Tzoumerka, Kakarditsa and Mavrovouni. Kakarditsa is almost linked to the southern peaks of Lakmos and it is possible to combine a visit to both mountains.
