Mamali | Verdikousia

The Mamali forest, outside Verdikousia, is a natural paradise for nature lovers and adventure seekers. Every year, it hosts the Mountain Enduro Camp, a three-day camping festival that brings together enduro riders from all over Greece, offering routes through dense vegetation and impressive landscapes. In addition to sporting activities, the area is also of historical importance, as the summit of Mamali is in very good condition, an old stone Ottoman border guard post, known as the “Kazarma.” The area of Elassona was liberated from the Turks in 1912. Mamali combines natural beauty with historical memory, offering a complete experience for visitors.
