Itinerary description
Did you know you can enjoy 15 kilometers of almond gardens? Try it.
Well, to be honest, there will be 3 kilometers with no single almond tree when you go through a mountain pass. But there is a sea view and a pleasant spot to take a rest instead.
Difficulty: Long climb to the pass, but safe with no obstacles. The root follows agricultural roads.
Real elevation gain: 550 м
Best time: mid February - mid March
Start: you can do it from Limnatis or from Lania
Direction: better as recorded (counterclockwise)
Scenery: almond gardens, vineyards, valley views, sea view, carob gardens
Activity: hiking, mountain bike, car (you may need to use detour in some places)

Nice trail , but the last 5 km are not so picturesque
A very good trail thank you! Moderate difficulty, bring some water and you’re in for a very pleasant walk
