Nice ascend on mount Paiko with beautiful views of Pinovo and Tzena mountains.
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.
I only encountered a single E6 sign along the route and a couple more in Arhagelos.
There is a regular daily bus service to Aridaia (Tel: 23840 21249)
