Itinerary description
This route is mainly over jeeproads. You will enjoy beautiful views over the sea. On the way you go through vineyards and see a lot of bees houses. Attention: While recording we took one wrong path and the last part is not recorded because it is the same way back as you came from. The number of kilometers is the same because it compensates. Bozikas tavern is the starting point. You will first get past a little well . You will walk up trough vineyards and pass another well. Later you will take a steep way to the left and walk into the forest. There you find the perfect picknick place under a giant dead tree. As you leave the forest you will pass a lot of beautiful bees houses in wonderful colours. every curve shows another magnificent perspective of the sea. After this you climb up and go a little down another hill. And thereafter, you can choose to climb up to a little chapel, the view is 360 degrees. Of course you can skip this climb and just follow the road straight ahead instead of going to the left. Watch out, the next thing after climbing the chapel, is to go back down to the road and follow it. It leads to the monastery, where you can get fresh water to drink. You will soon find yourself on the same road as you came from. We turned of the recording of the gps, but its easy to find your way back to the tavern.
Enjoy!
Attention : on your way you might cross a shepherd with his herd. Be careful and keep a safe distance, because the dogs are very eager to protect the herd!
