We’ll begin our walk at the lower part of Langada village, crossing the Araklos gorge towards the dry stone terraces on the slopes of Pangos hill. Along the way, we’ll examine dry stone walls and other structures in various states of preservation, discussing how their design relates to the local materials used.
As we complete a circular route, we’ll pass by the site of recent Dry Stone Workshops. Here, we’ll explore the efforts of local groups to preserve and promote dry stone masonry, a craft now recognized on the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage List.
