A LITTLE ABOUT THE WALK

What’s waiting along the way

Follow the E4 to an Enipeas waterfall, the sacred cave and the old monastery of Agios Dionysios.

Physical effort

The municipality describes it as easy and gives 340 m of altitude difference, not cumulative ascent.

Terrain & technical considerations

Mountain path and a wooden river bridge. River-adjacent terrain requires care; check the bridge and path locally.
