    Right at the beginning of the hike, above Votomos Lake, you pass a slope that is a single field of wild sage and thyme. The sideritis plant, used in Greek mountain tea, also grows in abundance here. The scent of the herbal plants is breathtaking.

      The tour is beautiful. The scent of the herbs is amazing. But unfortunately this tour is no longer accessible from point 7 onwards. It is essential to follow the red marking between points 7 and 8. It is no longer possible to cross the monastery.

        Simply heavenly, the smell of the fresh herbs. If you rub the leaves lightly between your fingers, you can then feel the intense smell on your fingers.
