Itinerary description
Ξεκινησαμε τη διαδρομη αυτη για να δουμε τα ερειπια του αρχαιου καστρου "ερημοκαστρο", στην κορυφη του ομωνυμου βουνου. Απο τον κολπο της παραλιας του Λαδικου ξεκιναει ενα μονοπατι κατα μηκος της ακτης το οποιο εχει κατευθυνση προς το βουνο ερημοκαστρο. Λιγη προσοχη γιατι δεν ειναι σημαδεμενο και υπαρχει περιπτωση να το χασεις. Καθως πλησιαζεις τους προποδες του βουνου, υπαρχει δεξια ενα σπιτι, απεναντι στο οποιο ξεκιναει ενα μονοπατι πισω απο συρματοπλεγματα. Εχει κατευθυνση περιμετρικα του βουνου με θεα τη θαλασσα διοτι η αναβαση του ειναι δυνατη απο τη νοτια πλευρα, καθως η ανατολικη ειναι πολυ αποτομη και υπαρχει γκρεμος. Στην κορυφη του βουνου διασωζονται καποια λιγοστα ερειπια αρχαιας οχυρωσης απο την κλασσικη και την ελληνιστικη περιοδο. Το μερος χρησιμοποιηθηκε επισης κατα τον Μεσαιωνα ως οχυρο και ορμητηριο πειρατων. Η θεα προς την παραλια Αφαντου ειναι εκπληκτικη. Η καταβαση μπορει να γινει επισης απο τη βορεια πλευρα του λοφου οπου η διαδρομη ειναι πιο ομαλη.
We started this route to see the ruins of the ancient castle "Erimokastro", at the top of the mountain of the same name. From the bay of Ladikos beach starts a path along the coast which has a direction to the mountain Erimokastro. A little attention because it is not marked and there is a case to miss it. As you approach the foot of the mountain, there is a house on the right, opposite which begins a path behind barbed wire. It has a direction around the mountain overlooking the sea because its ascent is possible from the south, as the east is very steep and there is a cliff.at the top of the mountain are preserved a few ruins of ancient fortifications from the classical and Hellenistic period. The place was also used during the Middle Ages as a fortress and pirate stronghold. The view to Afandou beach is amazing. The descent can also be done from the north side of the hill where the route is smoother
