A varied and scenic circular hike through a beautiful landscape, mostly on old and paved paths connecting old mountain villages, with some steep ascents and descents with magnificent views.

The tour begins after crossing the bridge over the Tepeni Stream at the parking lot under the eucalyptus trees near Agios Dimitrios. From the parking lot (signposted), the trail continues north …

Hike through several mountain villages on old cart tracks.

The old paths are partially falling apart, but are still easy to walk on.

This route is very well signposted - just follow the red and yellow markings from the starting point... the view is magnificent, especially on the way down 🤩
