Itinerary description

Relatively easy route that runs along the coastal path E4 passing through a beautiful cedar forest and small coastal, rocky bays of Viena to come to the beach of Krios.
The path continues up the slope following the ridge and it reaches to a hill (15,5th klm) above Elafonisi where one can enjoy the view from above (one has to deviate from the route to have a nicer view of the beach).
The last part is a rural road because it was done during the night.
Logically, one can avoid the road by going down the slope.
Real walking time about 6 -7 hours.
It is recommended to do the path in the opposite direction because there are beautiful beaches along the way that one could enjoy during summertime.
