Itinerary description

If you want to hike in the pine-forested mountains, see several ancient Venetian bridges (Tzelefos, Elias, Milos, Three Olives) at once and are not afraid of steep ascents and descents, this is the trail for you. As a bonus, you get great panoramic views of gorges and mountain ranges, as well as magnificent forest scenery.
In some places this route will require you to be physically fit, be prepared. This route is a nice adventure. Have a great hike!
