Saint George Spring and Signpost to Karphi Minoan Settlement

Highlight • Natural Monument

Before climbing the last few meters to the summit, you can refresh yourself at the spring. There is also a signpost to the Minoan settlement that was found here.

Start of the Ascent to Karfi

Highlight • Trail

From here it gets steeper and rockier

Tip by

Depending on the direction in which you hike, this road is the beginning or the end of the hike.
My recommendation: Start the ascent at the west end of Tzermiado and hike clockwise. The ascent is much more pleasant with this variant because of the shady trees.
