This out&back route takes hikers of M11 route to the little village of Lourantianika.
This is an alternative route which connects the tiny rural settlement of Lourantianika with the main trail M11.
The visitor can enjoy an easy route through the cypress forest of Lourantianika, a landscape that hardly resembles Kythera…
Of particular interest is the church of Agios Georgios in the center of the settlement.
Derived from the technical difficulty and the stamina requirements.

Safety information
It is advised not to walk alone and to always keep with you a first aid kit.
Tips and suggestions
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.
