Itinerary description

SIGNS: This trail follows E4 route and is well signposted with the respective signs.

TERRAIN: The trail can be categorized from moderate to difficult due to terrain variations. The start is steep rocky climb, then long descent, some downs and ups after and the last part is ascending again. The way back is the other way around as it’s a linear trail.

SEASON: The trail is really beautiful in winter and early spring. Part of the path follows a small river which you have to cross couple of times.

KIDS: walkable with teens and up

    An amazingly beautiful trail, recommended for November through May. You get to explore Fikardou and Lazanias villages as well as spend some time at the historic Machairas Monasteri.

    It's not a loop trail. From one point to the other and back. Keep in mind :)
