Bridges, Kipi and the Koukouli steps
Starting at Koukouli, the described circuit visits Kokkoris/Noutsos, Captain Arkoudas, the three-arched Plakidas/Kalogeriko and Mylos bridges, then Kipi. It returns through Vikaki Gorge, Kondodimos bridge and the Koukouli steps. This is the named 4.9km Koukouli circuit, rather than a different Kipi–Vitsa route.
The Ecomuseum half-day product
The Ecomuseum’s three–four-hour escorted outing starts and finishes at Koukouli and includes its escort, a visit to the K. Lazaridis Natural History and Botanical Museum and light lunch with herbal tea. The operator calls it easy and family-oriented; stone surfaces, steps, current bridge conditions and the group’s needs still determine suitability. Those booked inclusions do not accompany every independent walk.
