Panorama Photo

A 360° from the highest summit of the Panachaïko, the bulky mountain dominating Patrasso and the whole region of Achaïa, which is the NW edge of Peloponnese.
I had developed the desire to climb this mountain already in far 2003, when for the first time I had ended a bicycle tour in Patrasso. That time I had climbed what I call my "Seven Summits": the northernmost ones of which, Klinovec and Brocken, lie perhaps too far away to be seen from here. However, the two southernmost are in sight: the Parnassos, in clouds on the other side of the Gulf of Korinthos, and the Helmos, well in sight right of the less visible Cillenes.
The central mountain of Peloponnese, which is the Menalos, hosting a ski centre as well as Parnassos and Helmos, is also visible. Diversely, its highest mountain, the Taygetos, is theoretically visible right of the Erymanthos, but this theory does not come to reality in a summer day.
