Itinerary description

The old route to Platania is lost. It is possible to follow the old kalderimi with minor hazards until Mousgies where the two streams converge. One from Agios Spiridon and the other from Randi. After that there is just unbelievable destruction. It is possible to follow the huge flood route consisting of rocks and gravel towards the sea. Here we tried to follow the original route of the path that passed through woodland and olive groves behind Platania. This route is completely lost in the devastation caused by the storm.
