Itinerary description
A 3-day walk from the town of Filiatra to the archaelogical site od Archea Messini; mostly on dirt roads and trails and some on paved secondary roads. I did the walk in August, so it was rather hot, as I walked also in the noon hours. Make sure you have plenty of water and wear a hat.
The track has been reconstructed on the map, so the actual distance covered is probably around 65-70 (I walked some extra 5 km).

Sorry Dimitrios, believe it or not, I didn't take any pictures during the walk. Now I wish I had, but somehow I didn't think of taking pictures at the time.
