The first publishing of the ROAD map of Pilion marked the first ever precision mapping of the road network and footpaths of this beautiful mountain, representing, in essence, an international invitation to nature lovers the world over who were finally provided with the essential tool for their travels.
The ROAD map of Pilion contains the following features, shared by all ROAD mountain maps:
*Precision geophysical background provided by the Hellenic Military Geographic Service, which we processed adding shades of brown to provide you with a “relief” and clear image of the mountain masses. The contour lines of this map are at 20m intervals. This map features complete mapping of the road network, including even the most insignificant secondary and blind unsurfaced roads (so that you know where not to turn!), the scenic routes are highlighted in green (telling you where you should turn!), with precision distances in kilometres from intersection to intersection, to allow you to track your course with greater ease.
*The mountain’s major footpaths are positioned accurately on the map. The booklet insert accompanying the map provides a detailed, step by step, description of the nicest hiking route on Pilion, from Milies to Tsangarada and from there to Damouchari, an ideal route for novices and seasoned hikers alike. The footpath is marked on a map with a 1:25,000 scale.
*A wealth of information for nature lovers (altitudes of peaks, footpaths, gorges, caves, beaches, springs and more) and travellers (archaeological sites, country churches, monasteries, castles, and more) and much practical information for drivers in general (gas stations, tire repair shops, hubs, tunnels and more).
At the back side of the map there is information about the mountain in English and Greek, an in depth description of the Kala Nera-Milies-Tsangarada-Damouchari hiking route, a presentation of the traditional guest houses of Pilion and, of course, an alphabetic index and a list of useful telephone numbers, as well as a large map of Volos.
