Itinerary description

A nice circular without too much ascent in hot weather. There are cafes in Giannades for half way refreshments. The route from there is not entirely on open street map but rest assured all paths do exist, something I will rectify when I have the chance. Worth taking a relaxing break afterwards at Giannades beach with bars and restaurants it is also possible to extend the walk to include the beach.

    Good route (my first try on this app), I did it in reverse so comments weren't appropriate but enjoyed it just the same.
