Itinerary description

This was an unnamed nature trail without any description, thus I'm not sure that we have walked it in full.
On the way there are plenty historical and nature objects, some of which have QR codes which are still scannable.
Overall trail is nice and easy and partially educational. Two small villages are along the route.

TERRAIN: mostly dirt roads with some paved parts, easy ascents and descents. Just a couple of short bits of easy wild terrain.

SEASON: mostly sun exposed trail.

SIGNS: just one sign for nature trail, a few QR codes, a few benches on a very short separate trail in Potamiou village.

KIDS: fine for kids as young ad 4-5 yo

    Enjoyable hike 7.7km if you don't wander around the churches.
    Some uphill sections as the elevation profile shows.
    Start of hike steep, but quickly levels off
