    Beautiful walk from the coast up through three beautiful mountain villages (Pinakates, Vizitsa, Milies) The walk is mainly along cobbled paths, which is quite unique although a little hard on the feet after a long time!

    Followed your trail, mate. Thanks! I varied it a bit and added some more pics. Thanks for doing the route.
