Itinerary description

Many kilometres but most of them on dirt roads.The only dificult part of route is the pentaheris crossing cause not path and many hedge plants with thorns.That is aproxx for 2km and then again dirt road to Prina. From Prina the beatiful old path to Pyrgos by the side of Katsikantaras stream back to starting point. If trail is long there is some points you can chop off road or to start, not from Pyrgos but 700m after. The area is excellent for walking winter and summer.Is full of dirt roads and most important, forest.
Water at Prina

Μέσω χωματόδρομων που αφθονούν στην περιοχή φύγαμε για Πενταχέρη , αρχικά στην κορφ'η και κατόπιν στο μικρό κουκλίστικο οροπέδιο με τα αμπέλια.Η διάσχιση του Πενταχέρη είναι και το μόνο κομμάτι εκτός δρόμου,περίπου 2κμ. κατόπιν όλο δρόμο για Πρίνα μέσω Φιλιοτρόκη που πιάνει η κατηφόρα και περνάει μέσα απ το δάσος της Πρίνας.
Από Πρίνα λίγο χωματόδρομο και στη συνέχεια πιάσαμε το υπέροχο παλιό μονοπάτι για Πύργο που περνάει πλάι πλάι απ το ρέμα του Κατσικανταρά. Στη συνέχεια για την καθιερωμένη ρακή στο καφενείο του Γιώργου με την γαλήνια θέα στην κοιλάδα του Καλού χωριού που δεν σου κάνει καρδιά να φύγεις.
Πολλά χιλιόμετρα μεν,σε χωματόδρομους βασικά δε,οι οποίοι περνάνε ως επί το πλείστον μέσα από πευκιάδες με μόνη εξαίρεση την διάσχιση του Πενταχέρη που είναι και το πιό δύσκολο κομμάτι. Η διαδρομή ενδύκνειται για χειμώνα καλοκαίρι μια και από σκιά δεν θα παραπονεθεί κανένας.
Νερό και χώρο ξεκούρασης στο εκκλησάκι στη Πρίνα.
