A
pleasantly walk for young and old. Our walk begins at Gastouri Village
and progresses towards Agia Kyriaki chapel. The village of Gastouri is
set amid beautiful scenery on a green hillside. The village was built
on the slopes of the mountain Agioi Deka and it has points of
unique view, like Bella Vista and Belvedere.
The picturesque village chosen by the Emperess of Aystria, Sissy, to find peace and the appropriate climate that would be beneficial for her damaged health.
We walk through the tiled streets with the stone mansions. On the way you will meet the house where the Emperess Sissy lived. Later we will meet the Sissy's Springs.
Finally we will reach the highest top of the mountain where the views are stunning.
You will be spellbound by stupendous views over rural villages, fertile terraces, vineyards and the different hues of the Ionian Sea.
The walks ends back at Gastouri where you will have the chance to visit Achilleion Palace.

The majority of this walk is on clean paths. There are some steep uphill sections but these are quite short; the overall altitude gain is low to moderate.The views are stunning from the summit. Approximately half the walk is on single-track
footpaths.

Food:
You will not need to bring a large amount of food, however, certainly bring some. This is the sort of walk where you might bring some snacks and fruit. There is a shop on route and we will finish at a beach side tavern. The best rule of thumb is always to come away from a walk with some food spare.
