Discover a captivating route filled with natural beauty, religious, and cultural landmarks that unfold through ever-changing landscapes! Start from the Tamassos and Oritini Metropolis, where two impressive churches dominate: the majestic Russian church and the picturesque Romanian church.

Within the first few kilometers, you will encounter the Tamassos Archaeological Site and then the historic Monastery of St. Heracleidius, a true gem with a rich history. Continuing through olive groves, you will reach the Tamassos Dam, where the view is simply breathtaking.

As you climb, you will find the Kampiou Mandras picnic area, where you can refresh your supplies with fresh water. From there, pass by the Church of St. Fanourios and get lost in the pine-covered paths that lead to the Machairas Monastery and the historic hideout of hero Grigoris Afxentiou.

For the more daring, from the 25th kilometer, you can take an alternative route towards the Machairas Monastery and the hero’s hideout. On the return, enjoy the beautiful path beside the Pedieos River before reaching the starting point again. A route that will enchant you with the harmony of nature and history
