Itinerary description
At most places wide, freshly maintained forestry road, prepared for big fire trucks. Mostly rocky safe to go even in rainy season, but one part is muddy , not sure about that.
Prodromos site is most beautiful part of the trip, there is very beautiful black pine forests and very scenic track.
At an altitude of 1600 meters, and just 2 km before Prodromos village, visitors will find a symmetrical reservoir, surrounded by thick pine forest, creating a serene, artificial lake in one of the highest locations of the island.
The Prodromos water reservoir was constructed in 1962 as a riverside basin, made with soil. It is 10 meters deep, with a surface area of approximately 22 square meters, and can hold up to 122,000 cubic meters of water.
Its relatively small surface, and the altitude of the reservoir’s location (in an area which sees very low temperatures and receives early snowfall in the winter) leads to this reservoir turning into a makeshift ice rink. The frozen reservoir in the winter offers a very different image from other seasons, but the serenity that the setting inspires and the grandeur of nature surrounding it is a common factor all year round.

Well maintained trail by the forest department, wide enough in most of the route. Make a stop where the small river crosses the road. Peaceful spot for a picnic.
