A LITTLE ABOUT THE WALK

What’s waiting along the way

Follow the historic water-supply route past stone bridges towards Palia Kavala.

Physical effort

A longer outing: the two published sections total 10.5 km, without the return.

Terrain & technical considerations

Dirt road, narrow path and old stone paving. Narrower sections and wet paving can need extra care. Current passability is not confirmed.

A LITTLE PREPARATION GOES A LONG WAY

Before you go

Getting there & parking

Starts at Agios Konstantinos chapel, at the end of 13is Septemvriou Street. The pin shows Kavala city, not the chapel. Parking is unconfirmed.

Your way back

Arrange a return from Palia Kavala. Retracing the full route would be about 21 km; it is not included here.

Shade

The description mentions pines and dense streamside vegetation; continuous shade is not confirmed.

Drinking water

The source mentions a fountain near the first bridge. Present flow and potability are unverified; carry your own water.

Season & preparation

General seasonal guidance: prepare for summer heat and sun, mud after rain, and possible winter snow or ice in mountain areas. Check the forecast and local restrictions before departure. Bring suitable footwear, water, sun protection and a map.

This is not today’s forecast or confirmation that the trail is open.
