The hiking trail up to Mount Ipsario on the island of Thassos from the village of Potamia is a beautiful trip with interesting birds on the lower levels.
The path is a long and increasingly mountainous walk up the valley towards Ipsario. It starts in NW of the village Potamia, follows the hiking trail through old desciduous forest, Platans, Oaks, Chestnut and Walnuttrees.
Further up the trail leaves the road and the forest changes in to pinetrees. In this area we saw Kos kamenjar, Modrokos, Gorska lasta, Strnadica kamenjarka and Sredozemna beloguza.
Further up the climb becomes increasingly steep, and the nature becomes more bare. Here Belonokta vetruška was seen.
The trail continues the whole way up to Mt Ipsario where Puzgavac can be seen.
Its recomended to start walking before dawn, its also important to carry a lot of water (there is a well some distance up the trail). The trail becomes sometimes very thin and steep, good shoes are compulsory!
With car to Potamia (taxi for 20 Euro from Golden beach)
