[01] Mainalo ski resort opens on New Year's Day
AMNA / The ski resort at Mt. Mainalo, in the central Peloponnese,
will open to public on Sunday, New Year's Day. The resort is located
some 30 kilometres from the nearby town of Tripolis, the capital of the
eponymous prefecture of Arcadia, and 160 kilometres southwest of Athens.
The resort offers three pistes for adults and one children's lift as
well as a restaurant/bar and ski rentals. www.amna.gr
On New Year's Day the municipality of Tripolis will organise a special
event for skiers and visitors, which will include night skiing and other
events. With an economic crisis still plaguing the country, the still
vibrant tourism sector has for years attempted to extend the tourism
season, especially in terms of winter sports and better promoting Greece's
numerous mountain destinations.
