Itinerary description
So parked one car at Episkopi and drove the other one to Vasiliki and started there.
A walk that starts with joining the E4 trail and follows it for the first part of the walk.
The whole walk stays on a very wide rough roadway throughout.
A long winding road up with great views over both oceans, the Ha gorge and the valley below.
