Itinerary description

Theoritetically this trail is excelent. Old villages or ruins of settlements, three peaks with amazing view ,moderate km and ascent. Unfortunelly is not like that, is the place with the most fences i ever see on mountains.Everywhere fences,some dificults some not. We pass up of 30 fences until end.
Second and serious problem is the forgotten old paths. There is a paths but is hide from hedge plants with thorns! Jungle of thorns!
Anyway, if somebody want to follow our trek they need ofcorse pliers! 7 hours, a lot of water if temperature is higher than 25c. and a lot of patience. fences is exhausting. Hide paths also.
You can reach 2 prinoi ( 2 oak trees) from xirokampos(left at crossroad from aghios nikolaos to heraklion) to pissides and then to waste site, by dirt road to aghios yeorgios,past the church and in next crossroad right , on the road is a church with sign, left and in 300m is the small village.
Good luck!
