Itinerary description

Around 1960 the village of Nisi due to the lack of water had been abandoned (we got this information from a sheeperd whose grandfather lived there). About 20 families left the village and seattled into the villages nearby (Kato Poros and Moudros). Both chapels are still well preserved.
Between the ruins you can find the old olives mill.
After the village you will arrive in a place where stunning rock formations and a great view will delight your walk.
After the trail head to Argiroupoli, down zo the river where you may have great meals near cute water cascades. https://greece.terrabook.com/rethymno/page/kato-poros/
