It is not for nothing that the Sellúda viewpoint - and metonymically the entire slightly south-sloping plateau behind it - bears this elevating nickname. The view over Agios Pavlos to Agia Rumeli and beyond is divine. However, the descent from here over 500 meters in altitude or, better, depth, to the beach can be hell if you don't wear the right footwear. Hiking sticks are really helpful here, although in principle you hike mostly on a well-preserved καλντερίμι (paved path), which is unfortunately littered with a lot of rubble.

Grandiose vantage point as a reward for the arduous journey there on the Agia Roumeli to Agios Ioannis tour (tour marking red and white)

Well-developed and marked trail from the coast to Agios Ioannis. Again and again great views. The most beautiful, of course, when you've covered the 600 meters of altitude.
