Itinerary description

Short walk/drive from E740 new Cedar Valley to ridge line of very old Cedars. Sign marks the mountain as Eksomylos 1249m.

Nice alternative to the main Cedar Valley that allows easy access to lots of grand old cedars. The end of South west ridge is nice place for picnic or sunset (or both).

Waypoints

Start of track

Turn off from the E740 road. No signpost so keep an eye out (even on satellite map the track start is hard to see). Location is marked accurately in WikiLoc.

Good track

The track is mostly level and in good condition. A 4x4 is not required. Track runs about 700m and there is room to park 2-3 cars at end.

Cedar

Outlier cedar.

1st Cedar Grove

Parking

Parking spot by 1st cedar grove. From here you can either head north to summit or south along cedar lines ridge. The views and sunset us best along the south ridge.

Track to summit

Trail heading to north summit from parking spot. About 250m to top. Steepish but easy trail.

Eksomylos 1249m

This is the sign by parking and 1st cedar grove. The actual height of this location is about 1210m so height on sign must refer to north summit.

Cedar saplings

Forestry dept is planting quite a few (tiny!) cedar saplings. Come back in 200 years to enjoy!

Tree

Looking to Cedar ridge from summit.

Looking back down hill to Cedar ridge.

Cedar on summit

One of only 2 big cedar of north summit. So a bit disappointing. Not to worry, head back downhill and go along the south ridge.

Summit Cedar

From north summit back to E740

Looking north from summit back to E740. You can see a large swath of planted cedar stretching back to the road.

New cedar valley

Looking north from summit back to E740. Between summit and road is a large swath of planted cedar. This area is actually opposite the area marked as Cedar Valley nr. Stavros ‘tis Psokas.
