This circular route combines the ridge of Agios Georgios with the stream of Pelecaniotis and passes by the archaeological site of the Fournakia and bird watching sites.
This circular route starts just outside of the settlement of Kontokynigi and combines the ridge of Agios Georgios with the stream of Pelecaniotis. It gives access to the archaeological site of Fournakia and to bird watching sites, thus combining naturalistic and archaeological interest.
Author’s recommendation
Take only memories, leave only footprints. Ants and other insects or animals have not yet discovered how to consume plastic. Take all rubbish back with you.
Don’t start a fire if you feel cold. Try walking faster.
Smoking on the trail will not help in anything. Neither you, nor the risk of fire.
Local people are not a tourist sight! If you want to take a picture, kindly ask. They will certainly smile to you!
If you find a door on the trail, pass freely, and leave it as you found it.
Stay on the trail. There is a reason why for many centuries people chose to walk on them and not elsewhere.
Derived from the technical difficulty and the stamina requirements.
