Overview

Nice ascend on mount Paiko with beautiful views of Pinovo and Tzena mountains.

Description

From Foustani square head to the east of the village past the old aqueduct and continue on a dirt road among pomegranate trees to reach the a large stream. Cross it over a ford and then take a track uphill that gains the ridge ahead. Continue on the track along the ridge passing by a small pond and soon walking in the shade of the forest. Emerge at the east side of Arhagelos village.

There is a hostel and tavernas. Accommodation could also be arranged (for men) in the nearby monastery.

Signposting

I only encountered a single E6 sign along the route and a couple more in Arhagelos.
