Itinerary description

Mια διαδρομη που ξεκιναει απο το μοναστηρι του Αγιου Ιωαννη Ριχτη μεχρι την ομωνυμη παραλια. Η καταβαση του βουνου ξεκιναει διπλα απο την ρεματια απο την αρχη της πεζοποριας και απαιτειται μεγαλη προσοχη διοτι η κλιση ειναι πολυ αποτομη και το εδαφος ολισθηρο. Ευδιακριτο η σημαδεμενο μονοπατι δεν υπαρχει, αλλα ο πιο ασφαλης τροπος για να γινει η καταβαση ειναι να κινεισαι διπλα απο τον συρματινο φραχτη και να τον κρατας ωστε να εχεις ισορροπια. Οταν πλησιασεις αρκετα την ακτη ο φραχτης τελειωνει και η κλιση καπως ομαλοποιειται. Εδω το μονοπατι γινεται πιο σαφες και κατηφοριζοντας το, διακρινεις αριστερα μια μικρη πηγη με τρεχουμενα νερα που καταληγουν στη θαλασσα. Η παραλια ειναι ακριβως δεξια μας στο οπτικο μας πεδιο. Η καταβαση ομως ηταν δυσκολη επειδη ο τελευταιος βραχος ειχε αποτομη κλιση, και απο την αλλη ο μικρος καταρρακτης εκανε το σημειο αρκετα ολισθηρο. Αν θελετε να κατεβειτε το σημειο δειξτε μεγαλη προσοχη. Η επιστροφη γινεται με αναβαση απο το ιδιο ακριβως σημειο, κρατωντας τον φραχτη για μεγαλυτερη ευκολια και ασφαλεια.


A route that starts from the monastery of Agios Ioannis Richtis to the homonymous beach. The descent of the mountain starts next to the ravine from the beginning of the hike and great care is required because the slope is very steep and the ground is slippery. There is no clear or marked path, but the safest way to make the descent is to move next to the wire fence and hold it so that you have balance. When you get close enough to the shore, the fence ends and the slope is somewhat normalized. Here the path becomes clearer and downhill, you can see on the left a small spring with running water that ends at the sea. The beach is just to our right in our field of vision. The descent, however, was difficult because the last rock had a steep slope, and on the other hand the small waterfall made the point quite slippery. If you want to get down to the point, be very careful. The return is done by climbing from the exact same point, holding the fence for greater convenience and safety.

    Dear Michalis & Anna, it seems you have hiked both “Agios Ioannis Richtis” and “Agios Ioannis Maktis”. In your opinion which is the nicest for the hike and which is nicest for the beach/sea? 🙏🏻

    Dear Fabio, The nicest and easiest also hike, is for the hike for "Agios Ioannis Makris".
