Itinerary description

Easy short walk through the open forest in the Zominthos area, Psiloritis Geopark. Mostly on small roads, used by the shepherds in the area. Last part is on a small path, just follow the lowest point in that area.
Beautiful views on Psiloritis, lots of birds, butterflies etc.
