Thousands of visitors were attracted to the first day of the Helmos Mountain Festival organized at the ski resort from yesterday to Monday 5 June
Its first day attracted thousands of visitors Helmos Mountain Festival which is organized at the facilities of the Ski Center from yesterday until Monday, June 5.
From early Friday afternoon, visitors from every corner of Greece rushed to the Kalavryta Ski Center, with the most daring bringing tents and camping equipment with them to sleep at night with the starry sky of Helmos as their ceiling.
The weather conditions helped on the first day of the events, since the unfavorable forecasts were not confirmed, while for today and tomorrow it has been estimated that the weather will be even better.
Overall, the three days of events are expected to be more than 10,000 visitors, with several of them coming from all over Greece, since it was known that there are organized tours from Thessaloniki, Rhodes, Crete, Chios, Larissa and of course Athens.
Apart from those who chose to sleep at night in tents at the Ski Center, several visitors “brought life” to the town of Kalavryta and the surrounding villages. From early noon, the restaurants of Kalavryta were full of people, while the hotels in the area also host many hundreds of visitors.
The goal of the three-day Festival eis that the new event in the mountains of Achaia will turn into an institution with multiple benefits for the wider region. The idea behind the organization was “born” a few months ago and as Mr. Agrios had revealed, the aim is for the ski resort to contribute to the extension of the tourist season and also for the world to get to know the beauties of the mountain even better.
The organizers have taken care and there are points of focus and “supply”.
