Discover Kellaki: Views, Culture and Nature

A stay in Kellaki offers several distinct experiences: the viewpoint on Lhistovounou Road, the “Archangel” picnic area, the Zoodochos Pigi Convent and a local cultural tradition. The village also produces tomatoes and various fruits. The picture of the area therefore ranges from panoramic views of Kellaki and its surroundings to a chapel setting, music, dancing and awards. When planning your trip, you can consider whether views, culture, a picnic spot or agricultural produce are of particular interest to you.

Views and Outdoor Locations

The viewpoint on Lhistovounou Road was completed in 2003. Its paved area has a wooden fence, benches, tables, a shelter and parking. From here, you can enjoy panoramic views of Kellaki and the surrounding mountains and communities. If you plan to visit the viewpoint, check the current access arrangements before you go. The shelter provides a covered area on the site.

The “Archangel” picnic area has a different character. It was developed from 2012 in the pine-covered grounds around the Chapel of Archangel Michael and was subsequently handed over to the local church for management. Unlike the viewpoint on Lhistovounou, whose defining features are its paved area and panoramic views, Archangel is shaped by its pine woodland and chapel. This gives you two distinct outdoor settings to choose from: views of Kellaki and the surrounding mountains and communities, or the wooded chapel grounds.

Convent and Culture

The Zoodochos Pigi Convent, also known as Panagia Glossa, lies within the municipal boundaries, about 1.5 kilometres southeast of Kellaki in the direction of Sanida, rather than in the village itself. The surroundings are green, quiet and secluded. Both names refer to the same convent and can help you find this destination within the municipality.

An undated event description states that Kellaki’s cultural evening began in 2003. It describes a programme featuring traditional and selected popular music, as well as dancing. It also mentions awards for young students and other distinguished individuals. The likewise undated description of the Easter programme mentions Easter Sunday and Easter Monday, and three event venues: the cultural centre, the outdoor event area and the municipal stadium. The descriptions do not indicate whether these programmes will be held again in the year of your trip. If you would like to plan your stay around one of these events, check the dates and venues for the relevant year.

Agricultural Produce

Tomatoes, as well as apples, peaches, pears, nectarines, apricots and cherries, are produced in Kellaki. In addition to tomatoes, the range includes pome fruits such as apples and pears, as well as several stone fruits. Agricultural production adds another tangible aspect of the area alongside its viewpoints and cultural events.
