Itinerary description

Starting from ionian beach resort we pass first Glyfa on our way to Kastro. Uphill mainly we have some nice views of the castle.

Of course, a must see is the Chlemoutsi Castle which was free at the moment of our visit due to a holiday, normally it’s costs 4€ per person.

From here downhill to Cyllene or Kyllini where we take a look at the ruins of Glarenza Castle after visiting the pier first. From here we go through olive groves and the outskirts of Kastro to Dew Resort, for almost 30 years in ruins.. strangely impressive.

Then the gravel road up again where we ride via Arkoudi back to our campsite.
