Itinerary description

This a walk starting from Paleochora and reaching the church of the prophet Ilias, which is close to the village of Anidri. After a bit more than 1 km, leave the road and take (look for the gate) the path that goes through the mountain. Follow the orange marks. You can go up to the church (which I did) or skip it and then go back by the other side of the hill to Paleochora. You have also the possibility to follow from the church the path that takes you to Anidri’s village and then to go back to Paleochora through the gorge.
