Overview

Gentle walk on the footsteps of Voras with nice views.

Description

From Promahi village walk south following the road to Likostomo. After about 2km and just before a bridge turn right on a dirt road ascending gently on the right bank of the river. After another 2km from the bridge you have to leave the road (difficult to find) and turn left across a field on a faint path and track to join another road just before a bridge. Cross it and head south among chestnut orchards. Pass a saddle and start to descend among a patch of pines to emerge at the village by the church. Walk downhill and soon turn right on the paved road following road signs to Loutraki. Approaching Loutraki you have nice views of the narrow gorge above the village. Cross Loutraki to join the main road from Aridaia and continue to Orma passing a junction to the famous thermal baths of Pozar.
