Trail Running Route 1

We start from the church of Saint Antonios and we follow the path below “pefkorachi”. Along its way we meet many technical pieces. It is a pleasant trail with alternations of sceneries and altitudes. Its end leads us to the spring of the Monastery of Kechria. Up from there an almost downhill path starts through the stream of Kechria with a lot of shadow which takes us at the old oil press and the watermill at the beach of Kechria. Leaving the beach we are getting into a stream with slight uphills again. A dirt road follows with alternations from uphills to downhills. The stream’s end leads up to the route’s starting point.

Distance: 13km – Duration: 2-2:45 hours – Difficulty Level: Medium

Trail Running Route 2

What is of high importance, on this demanding sport of the trail running, is the appropriate warm up. For this reason, the starting point which was chosen is the Monastery of Evangelistria. Crossing the trail of 600m behind the Monastery, we have to cross another tough uphill dirt road of 1000m which leads to the monastery of Saint Charalampos. Up from there we are getting into a shady demanding uphill trail where after 800m we are led to a dirt road almost uphill. This leads us after some continuous turnings at Kampia. We are descending a shady path where we meet remarkable ruins of our local civilization. We are almost at the altitude of sea, at the church of Glykofilousa. Then a road with mild uphills follows until Saint Anastasia. An asphalt road of about 1200m follows. Afterwards, we will get into two beautiful shady paths, which at the end will take us to the Monastery of Evangelistria again.

Distance: 15km – Duration: 3-3:30 hours – Difficulty Level: Hard
