Kali Komi between Gorge and Peaks

Kalí Kómi lies at an elevation of 610 meters. Its specific landscape features include a gorge, peaks, and viewpoints; a church and chapels add a cultural focus. This gives you a range of nature and culture themes to choose from when planning your trip.

Forests and Elevation

The Kalatori-Megas Kampos and Mavrorachi-Kaftoures forests lie near Kalí Kómi, and are home to fir and beech trees. These are two separate forest areas. They add another connection to the landscape alongside the mountain destinations and viewpoints.

Peaks and Views

Climbing the slopes and peaks of Botsi, Kafkia, Stavro, and Kalatori offers extensive views from Kalí Kómi. Boutsos is the highest peak of Mount Botsi and offers distant views toward the regional units of Trikala, Karditsa, Arta, and Ioannina. Samari is a viewpoint with a distinctive view in the Kalí Kómi area. The two places differ in what they offer: Boutsos combines a summit location with distant views, while Samari is a viewpoint near the village.

Gorge and Springs

Visitors can cross the Kostiano Gorge, which ends at the Achelous. Alongside the climbs, the gorge offers a different kind of natural attraction: the focus is on a crossing with a specific named endpoint. When deciding which nature experiences interest you, you can consider this route separately from the slopes and peaks.

Kalí Kómi also has the Toska, Itia, Pouria, Lavros, and Leptokaroula springs, where visitors can drink the water. Check locally whether the water is currently safe to drink. The springs add several named water sources to the options available.

Church and Chapels

The Church of Agios Nikolaos has an iconostasis made of porous limestone. In an Orthodox church, an iconostasis is a screen adorned with icons that separates the nave from the sanctuary. In Kalí Kómi, this architectural feature is therefore associated with a specific material.

The village is also home to the chapels of Panagia, Agios Konstantinos, and Agios Dimitrios. Together with the church, that makes four named religious buildings. If you are interested in religious architecture, the church and chapels can be a focus in their own right, alongside the landscape destinations.

Getting There

Kalí Kómi is connected to Arta by road. The village can also be reached from Pyli Trikalon; part of the road on this route is unpaved. As road conditions can change, check local conditions before driving via Pyli.

If you are considering Kalí Kómi as a destination for a stay, you can base your decision on its specific highlights: the gorge and mountain destinations, the viewpoints, or the church and chapels. This can help you weigh up the destination according to which of these nature and culture themes suits your travel plans.
