The path crosses an area with dry-stone constructions and threshing floors. On the threshing floors, with the help of large animals, the grain was separated from the plant's stalk. Besides cereals, they were also used for processing legumes (fava beans, chickpeas, lentils), as well as peas. For the construction of a traditional threshing floor, first, a suitable location was chosen - open, flat, and exposed to winds. With a nail in the center, a circle was formed, with a diameter proportional to their needs, and a shallow ditch was dug around the perimeter, where large stones, the andrialikous, were placed to build the threshing floor's wall. The floor was paved either with stones and slabs (threshing floor slabs) or with plain earth. Before threshing, the threshing floor was prepared by applying a mixture of ox manure, clay, and water, which hardened when dry, filling the gaps between the slabs. Later, cement was used to pave the threshing floors. This traditional construction technique ensured durability and functionality in the threshing area.
