Itinerary description

Kroustas forest makes a wonderful walk. The terrain is often rugged with steep uphill stretches. Good shade in many places. In open parts of the walk there are far reaching views. Great for anytime except mid summer.

    Although circa 5 km this walk felt longer due to the steep uphill stretches. Needs walking boots.
