Hiking the Peaks of the Balkans was an outstanding the experience. The scenery is stunning and we got to experience small slices of local life when staying in the guest houses. Anton and Preveza are amazing guides. Anton speaks excellent English and has a wide knowledge of the history and culture of the areas we hiked in. Plus, he is incredibly enthusiastic, funny, warm and encouraging. As I was the slowest hiker, I spent a lot of time at the back chatting with Preveza, who is a wonderful empathetic soul. But be prepared for very long days and very steep climbs. It was much harder than I thought it would be. At 70, as the oldest member of the group, it was quite a challenge, but totally worth it.
