Itinerary description

Ruta circular per muntanyes d’oliveres fins a Aka Drastis (emblemàtica formació rocosa argilosa). Magnífiques vistes i sorprenents boscos d’oliveres i xiprers.
Si es fa a l’estiu és molt important portar gorra i força aigua. Els camins no són corriols i no sempre hi ha ombres.
Hi ha un punt de la ruta on es pot fer un bany envoltat de formacions argiloses més petites.

Circular route through mountains of olive trees to Aka Drastis (emblematic clay rock formation). Magnificent views and amazing olive and cypress forests. If it is done in the summer, it is very important to bring a hat and plenty of water. The way do not always have shadows. There is a point on the route where you can take a swim surrounded by smaller clay formations.

Potser si enlloc de girar a la dreta continuem a l’esquerra arribarem a la carretera més a prop del punt d’inici. Però no ho podem assegurar. Perhaps if instead of turning right we continue to the left we will reach the road closer to the starting point. But we cannot guarantee it.
