Always take care were you step , and look out not to hit your head at the short trees.
At winter time don't take any risks while you are close to the rivers.
Almost everywhere in this hike has something to eat (fruits)
After the monastery of Kremasta you can refill your water.
Whenever you want to try this hike is nice cause you are always under shade.
Take a good look of the watermills , you can still understand how the use to work and it is fascinating.
