Thirasia Trail 7 - Manolas - chapel of Agia Irini
-
Photo: Vasilis Deligiannis, Paths of Greece
The shortest hike on the island of Thirasia connects the capital of Manolas with the picturesque church of Agia Irini, in a place with unobstructed views, especially towards the West.
A short path gives access from the main road of Manolas to the small church of Agia Irini. This is a special group of buildings, in the interior of the island with beautiful traditional elements and an open view. The facilities look ready to host the church's festival when the time of the year is right. Visiting the place at that time of the year (5th of May) should be an unforgettable experience for the hiker.
