How Hiking is Helping Wild Brown Bears in the Mountains of Greece
One of the best-kept secrets in Greece is its brown bear population! We speak to Callisto, a conservation NGO working in the Pindos Mountains, about the fascinating brown bears in Greece. Via Stuart Kenny for Much Better Adventures
There are around 450 brown bears in Greece, the majority of which live in the Pindus Mountains. Photo: Getty ImagesMost people don’t think of Greece when they think of brown bears. Their minds wander to the high-rising Canadian Rockies or backcountry rivers of Scandinavia. Greece conjures up images of Mediterranean coastlines, serene sun and sandy beaches for most. But lost in that island stereotype is a whole ‘nother side of the country that tourists often forget exists – the side full of rugged mountains, wide-spanning black pine, beech and oak forests and a notable population of brown bears.
It’s estimated that there are currently around 450 brown bears living in Greece. That’s a substantial figure, given the species is currently considered at threat of extinction in western, central and southern Europe. The numbers in Greece are largely split between the Rodopis Mountains, which border Bulgaria, and the Pindus Mountain Range, bordering southern Albania. It’s in the Pindus (also known as the Pindos) that the majority of the Greek bear population lives.
The country actually has a rich history with bears. Ancient Greeks even saw them in the stars. The mythology goes that Callisto, the daughter of King Lycaeon of Arcadia, was cursed to live as a bear by the God of Hunting, Artemis. She was later placed in the skies by Zeus and remains visible to humans now; as the bear constellation Ursa Major.
Like many places in Europe, Greece historically had a thriving bear population before numbers dwindled due to poaching and loss of habitat. But an NGO, aptly-named ‘Callisto’, are working to preserve and grow the remaining bear population. Founded in 2004, Callisto’s focus is on the “conservation of biodiversity and of areas of high natural and aesthetic value in Greece”, with an emphasis on mountains, forests and the animals that live within them.
Vikos Gorge in the Pindus Mountains of northern Greece. It’s one of the deepest gorges in the world. Photo: Getty ImagesDr. Yorgos Mertzanis is a doctor of Biology with a PhD in the biogeography and ecology of the Greek brown bear. He’s also the scientific coordinator of Callisto, one of the founding members of the environmental NGO, and was able to explain a little more about their work.
“Our major field of work is in mountain ecosystems and large carnivores,” he says. “We mainly focus on brown bears and wolves.
“We work on conservation projects, education and public awareness, and on conflict aspects. Brown bears are carnivores, so they cause damage from time to time and aren’t so well seen by local, rural communities [as a result]. We try to propose different preventive measures to minimise those conflicts and try and create better conservation conditions for the species.”
It’s about discovering landscapes most people don’t imagine exist in Greece. About connecting with nature and forest in a Mediterranean country where the most cliched picture is completely different.
Callisto’s conservation efforts often take the form of large-scale projects. The likes of cross-border cooperation, “improving conditions of bear-human coexistence” and monitoring the impact on carnivores of the construction of new infrastructure near their habitat.
For the past five years, having partnered up with outdoor experts, Callisto have also been offering intrepid travellers the chance to track bears in the Pindos Mountains, and using tourism as a tool for conservation in the process. Each hike explores truly remote trails in the Pindos Mountains and, led by a bear expert, includes a donation to Callisto.
“The area where we’re hosting and guiding groups is in the northern part of Pintos. Gramos is the name of the mountain,” says Dr. Mertzanis.

“The Pindos range is a stretch of high mountains and deep valleys and canyons,” says Dr. Mertzanis. “It’s very rugged terrain.”
A wild bear sighting is, of course, far from guaranteed given the unpredictability of the animals but, Dr. Mertzanis notes, the ecotourism project offers hikers far more than that.
“It’s about discovering landscapes most people don’t imagine exist in Greece,” he says. “About connecting with nature and forest in a Mediterranean country where the most cliched picture is completely different – the beaches and coastal areas.
“It’s not easy to actually see a bear in the wild. The forest is dense and the landscape is rugged. But for sure you will see some tracks, some signs of bear activity, and if we have some luck, and we’re very quiet, then we could possibly see a bear crossing [the forest].
A bear in the Pindos Mountains named Katerina, with her two cubs. Photo: Armin Riegler / Callisto“We are mostly promoting contact with the whole area – this sensation of the mountains, of the living creatures inside the mountains, and giving guests a perception of the relationship between the local people and nature. You get a lot of local, cultural contact.”
Hikers can also learn about bear tracking and Callisto’s conservation work as they trek.
Callisto currently track bears in four ways. Firstly by car, with “one of the guys on the front of the car, fixed there, and the other driving very slowly” along forest roads. Then there are infrared cameras set up in the forests, genetic tests run from hairs gathered from power poles – “bears love to mark them, particularly during mating season” – and the fourth, and only invasive method of tracking, is radio tracking. This involves fixing a tag to the bear which sends back GPS data. The tag then automatically drops off one year after attached.
“The brown bear is a priority species and you have to be very careful when you approach and deal with this animal,” says Dr. Mertzanis. “The only purpose of tracking is conservation. From [tracking] we can calculate the population size, the distribution, any special behaviour and whatever other aspects of the species we care about for conservation.”
Katerina and her two cubs pop their head out to check the weather. Photo: Armin Riegler / CallistoAny wildlife and tourism project is bound, quite rightly, to attract questions about ethics, and if recreational hikers should be tracking animals in any circumstances. It’s clear that Callisto keeps conservation at the heart of everything they do as an organisation. I ask Dr. Mertzanis for his thoughts on ecotourism as a tool for conservation in wildlife.
“It’s a hot topic at the moment,” he says. “And it has a lot of dimensions. In general, we can say that it’s a positive in conservation, but you have to apply some rules. You don’t want massive tourists in undisturbed areas, of course, and you want some rules to teach to visitors so that they respect the animals and don’t disturb the species.
“You have to let the visitors know that they are visiting a home – a culture, a local culture, and a specific natural area with a very rare or interesting species.
A mountain view from a trail on Mt Gramos in northern Greece. Photo: Getty Images“What we are saying to our visitors is that you should try to feel the whole area [on the trip]; the nature, the local culture, the people. And be as quiet as possible when you are outside in nature – as that’s the only way you will be able to see some of these species around!”
The experience is ultimately an opportunity to contribute to the conservation of an animal which has inspired myths throughout the ages, while also discovering a new part of the world, and a new ecosystem and landscape that most don’t even know exists.
“The forest, for me, is so important,” Dr. Mertzanis concludes. “This interaction between the species and the forest habitat is truly special. And you get to see these mountains which are so natural and rugged. The fact that everything is so unspoiled makes it all feel very calm.
“And of course, when we do see a female bear with three or four cubs, there is even more cause for joy! That means that the species is progressing, the production rate is higher and that the species survival rate and perspectives are even better than previous years.”

Eliza Blasina wears a horse-head headress
From the 1830s through the 1890s, London audiences flocked to a theatrical style commonly known as burlesque, but also sometimes labeled “travesty” or “extravaganza.” These shows reimagined celebrated operas, ballets, and dramas as irreverent musical comedies, frequently incorporating bawdy humour and carnivale and animalistic themes. Performers would lampoon the original productions by weaving in fragments of their scores and scripts while deliberately subverting their artistic conventions. The stage narrative often included strange animal costumes, historical garb and stage props, along with funny antics.
Actress Eliza Blasina is adorned in a horse-head headdress and brief costume featuring an attached horsetail. Multiple strands of round beads or bells encircle her ankles, wrists, neck, and upper arms. Actress Ella Chapman wears a gleaming metallic Knight’s outfit complete with leg coverings and a plumed helmet, taken at Rice’s Surprise Party.Map of English dialects in the UK
When I was living there in the UK, I really noticed these regional accents and it was enjoyable to try and pick out where someone was from when I met them for the first time. I can’t say I got really good at it, but it was still fun…I could just tell ‘Oh this person was from the north, maybe Yorkshire or Manchester. This person had a flat sounding accent like from the Midlands. This person sounds from Northern Ireland, This is a Scouser, this is a Cornish person.’ I love that people have different lilts for such a geographically small nation. Compared to Australia where people sound (mostly) the same or the differences are less pronounced.

Victorian England’s reputation for repression hides a complex truth. Prostitution was widespread, economically necessary, and socially tolerated, revealing a society managing sexuality rather than erasing it.

I had occasion to (skim)read Lady Sale’s diary of her nine months as one of a group of hostages during the British-Afghan conflict in 1842-3.
It’s very Victorian: a relatively dry and emotionless accounting (she does admit to crying upon rescue).
“The weather was this, we had a minor earthquake, we marched to here, we ate that, we heard these reports of troop movements, Mrs Waller gave birth to a daughter, we got some mail.”
Wait, what?
THREE women gave birth during their time in captivity, including Lady Sale’s OWN DAUGHTER, all three recorded with a single line, not a mention of their pregnancies even using the common euphemisms of the day (all three were soldiers’ wives, by the timing already pregnant when captured; Lady Sale avers the women were treated well).
She also only ever refers to her daughter as Mrs Sturt but that could have been changed for publication, surely if she was writing a private diary she would have unbent enough to call her Alexandria.
The bit that raised my eyebrows the most: “When little Tootsey (Capt. Anderson's child) was carried off in the Khoord Cabul pass, she was taken direct to Cabul: and the Khan rode up and down the streets with her; offering her for sale for 4000 rupees. After some negotiation regarding the price, Conolly purchased the child.”
AFTER SOME NEGOTIATION REGARDING THE PRICE????
