Tapes 1 - Megalo lagkadi- mesokountoura- Ahlada water fountain - Englishman cave (egglezou koufala)-cypress forest-tapes

25min.from town to Tapes, Aghios Nikolaos to Lakonia flatland. After Flamouriana setlement 2km, left to Tapes, We start from the 'square' of 'north' setlement. Small street opossite of fount always uphill,at the end of the street is the first fence,open it and continue up and right to the entrance of gorge where is the second and last fence and also sheepfold. Through gorge of megalo lagkadi(large dingle) to mesokountoura, end of dingle, at 920m. Then traverse at the left side(south)of mountain to fountain s area of Voina and Αhlada.Very nice signed path from dirt road to Αhlada fountain.We decide to go a΅litlle bit further by the path and find the cave of englishman. Hideout of the english soldiers at 2o world war. Is a bit complicated cause is not signs(there is a small tower of stones now). Then we walk straight down and opossite to the stream going through the cypress forest.Excellent choice but very dificult also.Steep sides ,no paths and at least 4 sift points at the stream.Exhausting of our troubles with stream ,once ,we met the dirt road going down to Tapes. We are end our circular walk with stop at the fount to put our head under water and then, at south setlement to kafeneio of mr Thrapsaniotis with 2 Raki's!

Epilogue: If somebody want to follow our trek is excelent choice until ahlada and back as 'Easy" . Until cave and back as 'Moderate". At back they can choose to go via the other spring (Voina) and down the dirt road to Tapes.If you do it as we do is dificult, special the descent to stream and the passages of them.
