Itinerary description

Our favourite walk on this trip, high in the mountains, starting at the eco village resort at Milia. A steepish descent through olive groves to Aikirgianis, from where we had spectacular views across to the Rodopou peninsula. Then slowly back higher to Tsourouniana for a picnic lunch stop, further up over the saddle next to Kastelos peak, and back down to Milia. Lots of variety to this walk and stunning views. Perhaps better in reverse when can see the see all the way to Aikirgianis.
