Itinerary

Agia Eirini
A small cafe was built in front of the gorge, where you can refresh yourself or recharge while having a cup of invigorating coffee. There are also the springs with drinking water. Further the road leads to the forest.

Agia Irini Gorge
The gorge is located across the western slope of Pilafi Mountain. Its length is about 8 kilometres. It will take you at an average 3 hours to cover this distance. The tour has an easy level of difficulty. There are no difficult rises and large elevation changes (the maximum difference is 500 meters).
Walking along the gorge, it is impossible not to see the rich flora. Plane trees, pines, cypresses stretch on both sides of the road. In addition, a lot of wild herbs and spices grow there.
On the way, there will be places where you can relax and get a bite to eat. The springs with clean drinking water are located throughout the route. In the springtime, you may be lucky to watch the picturesque waterfalls.

Sougia Beach
At the end of the gorge there is also a cafe in which you can regain some strength and have refreshing drinks. Then we will go to the village of Sougia, one of the main attractions of which is a beautiful pebble beach.

Sun beds;
Umbrellas;
Shower;
Changing rooms.
Not far from the beach, there are small taverns and cafes where you can taste the local cuisine.
