Itinerary description

A lovely walk in a beautiful remote forest around a monastery and over a mountain top. In 2011 the monastery was renovated and is open for the public (however only for men). The walk takes you through high shady forests and offers beautiful views along the north eastern coast-line. It starts at a height of about 800 metres, descends through the forest to 480 metres and then climbs up along a rocky path and later through the forest to 945 metres. The whole walk is marked with red marks. It is 12.5 kilometres long and spans a height of 480 metres. It took us 4.5 hours.
Start: The Flamouri monastery lies to the north east of Volos. It takes about 1.5 hours by car to get there. From the ring road north of Volos you take the road to Melisatika. You follow the road to Ghlafira, Kerasia and Ano Kerasia. From there you continue in the direction of the monastery along an earth road, for which you need a 4WD. We advise you to do this walk with a GPS.
Map: Anavasi 4.4 Thessaly Northern Pilio Mavrovouni 1:50.000.
Map for waypoints and tracks: Anavasi Topomap 3D op CD-Rom, Pilio – Mavrovouni, North Pilio.
Food and drink: In the first part of the walk, before you reach the monastery, there is a spring water drinking fountain.
