Itinerary description

This is the walking alternative to the cycling trail that I already published.
Follow a gravel road from Tres Ellisies westwards. At the end of the road, guess a path continuing towards a little rock barrier full of caves. The obstacle of overcome with a short climbing passage. Open flat terrain leads to the road descending from the saddle between Kofinas and Madhara. Follow this road down to the Koudouma monastery. A quiet path joins the latter ot Agios Ioannis. A detour is absolutely due to the cave which hosts the amazing ermitage of Agios Antonios.

Except for the first one, the photos are those of the cliffs below Agios Antonios (not visible from the fork, which lies higher up).
