The woe here branches off at a rather inconspicuous signpost. After you have finally landed on a driveway again, you are inclined to continue walking there. But you have to go down the slope to the left to get back to Selankano.

Spring at the Selakano–Metaxohori Junction

Highlight • Rest Area

This water spring is located at the crossroads between Selakano and Metaxohori. The signpost to Kalyves shows and the direction we must follow to enjoy the Selakanos forest tour. The way to Metaxohori allows us to observe the vertical walls where the Gaians nest. I recommend taking binoculars with you. In principle, the water from the spring is drinkable, but I would only drink it if you have no other alternative.
