Itinerary description
Cross the village of Asi Gonia following the direction to Kallikratis. When you exit the village leave the main road to take a small road up to the right. This road soon becomes a dirt track going up to a sheep pen. Pass the gate to climb up on the left of the sheep pen. Go straight towards a wide oak tree with 13 trunks. Keep on going uphill, passing another gate, towards the chapel of Timios Stavros.
>From behind the chapel start climbing towards the ridge. Follow that ridge. Sometimes there is a more or less clear "goat path". Sometimes it requires some scrambling on rocks. Later the track becomes more clear, among some scattered kermes oak and cretan maple trees. On you left accross the valley you can see a dirt road, other sheep pens and a small stone-built church. Follow the relatively clear path to go up to meet that dirt road. Turn left when you reach it and 50 meters further on your right you will see Kallikratis. Pass the fence and start descending towards it.
