Gazebo With View of Stavros and the Sea

Highlight • Viewpoint

A pronounced recommendation may be too much. The view is beautiful, stretching east across the island to Table Mountain Stavros and across the ocean to the mainland.
The roof of the hut offers at best sun protection, rain is unlikely to keep it, because quite holey. The hut is located directly on a (little busy) road. And it is also that, for me, the overall picture a bit clouded.

View of Korission Lagoon

Highlight • Viewpoint

Highly recommended - with a steep climb, but a beautiful and rewarding view. P.S. Don't forget the mosquito spray. 😅

View of Agios Mathéos with seating. One of the two benches was in October 2018, however, no longer usable.

Monastery of Pantokrator

Highlight • Religious Site

Monastery with rest area built at the beginning of the 4th century. Open only for a local festival on August 6th.
North of the monastery there is a covered rest area with a table and benches. However, the roof is more sun protection than rain protection and if you don't need a table you should go a few steps further to the viewpoint.

View of the Ionian Sea

Highlight • Viewpoint

A small path leads from the main way to this viewpoint. Just walk through the woods/bushes for about 30m.

Agios Matheos Village

Highlight • Settlement

Very nice mountain village, which still looks very original. Here the Korfioten sit on the street, drink coffee and play (among other things) backgammon. You talk and have time. Motorists drive very slowly, hardly two cars pass each other, people walk in the middle of the street.
It gets exciting when the bus drives through the town.
Not only the main street, where there are two supermarkets, a bakery and some restaurants is interesting, even the narrow streets above you should not miss, they are just worth seeing and probably the most original in town. Because even if Agios Mathéos still looks very authentic, it is set to tourists. One speaks English almost everywhere.

Quite strenuous mountain tour with beautiful views.
Initially a lot of rubbish on the wayside. Later the path is lined with cyclamen autumn crocus and autumn crocuses and then it goes through an enchanted forest.
Sometimes the view extends from the east to the west coast.
