Before starting the descents, visit first the old church of St. Ilias, dated since the first World War, and pray for yourself. In its basement, there is a cenotaph of the war’s victims. Don’t lose the opportunity to visit the old St. Athanasius, at 9 km/5 mi away from the center. It’s a small traditional village, where you can take a break and enjoy the hospitality of the villagers, the good food and of course the really good wine. In the village there are accommodation options.
