Then, passing through the churches of Saint John and Saint George you will find yourself on a curved gravel road that goes smoothly uphill to the highest peak of the route at 1,643m/5390ft. There you will be able to make a nice break for a snack while the view will not leave you in peace. After walking and taking down the downhill, just 1.5 km/9mi before Elati and the end of your trek you will pass through the holy temple of ZoodochosPigis.

Day 4 Elati-Vytina-Nymfasia (14 km/8.6mi, 4 Undoubtedly one of the most beautiful pieces of the whole path. The route descends from Elati to the river Millaon and passes down the hill where the ancient city of Methidrion was located. Throughout the path, you will move through a dense forest and alongside the river. After this amazing place, you will make a small stop in the village of Vytina, perhaps the most beautiful village in the whole area. The day ends after Vytina, in the village of Nimfasia, where a small piece is made on asphalt, while the rest of it in a gorge until its exit.

Day 5 Nympassia - Magouliana - Valtesiniko (15.5km/9.6mi, 6 hours) Leaving Nymfassia behind you, the route begins through an oak forest that leads you to the Cairn Bridge and the impressive monastery. It is a monastic complex nestled in an impressive monolith. After crossing a dense fir forest and reaching the Whistle Bell, you will have the chance to rest near the freshwater source. After that, we continue to hike through the forest and just before Magouliana you find another freshwater source. Much of the route from Maguliana to Valtesinikos moves downhill into the valley to the riverbed where later it meets a cobbled path that climbs up to the village. In the evening this will be the last one at the hotel where you will stay, which means that the procedures should be taken to check out the next morning.

Your road passes through valleys, threshing floors, and huts while its continuation ends in a war memorial. Our last destination. Lagadia also features an impressive complex of watermills. After the end of the hiking and the end of the multi-day activity, dinner will take place if and when our time permits.
