Walking and biking

The Milies and Skopelos areas surrounding Toumba offer an abundance of trails for hiking or mountain biking. Manmade and natural paths are spread throughout the entire area, connecting the various settlements with each other and with the olive groves.

The trails wind and guide us through the beautiful pine forest, through old villages and churches. Along the way we see natural springs and the traditional stone walls and damia which have been used for centuries in agriculture.

There are cypresses near the churches, hollies on the trail sides. In the ravines, the vegetation is rich with fruit trees, poplars and other indigenous plants. One can see, smell, feel and taste the fruits of this cooperation between humans and their natural environment.

 

Relaxing

Toumba cafe is also a great place to simply share an afternoon with some friends and enjoy some fresh-brewed coffee or homemade tea, in the open air and sublime beauty of the mountainous Greek countryside. Feel at home in Toumba, relaxing on the shaded terrace of your cottage or sharing a game of traditional Tavli in the café garden, or just immersing yourself into a good book, stopping only to gaze up at the star laden sky.

 

Horse riding

Toumba's 17 locally bred horses all have different personalities and riding styles. Many are trained to be ridden even by beginners, some require experienced riders, while others are trained to provide their services by helping to carry wood and olives. We host guided rides for single visitors or small groups around the local trails and abandoned villages. If you want to ride, it will be possible on the saturday or sunday following the yoga seminar.
