The coastal zone starting from the middle of the Kefallinia - Ithaca channel and extending to the SW of Kefallinia (Cape Gero Gompos) and the N. Ithaca (Cape Drakou Pidima) is an important area for the Mediterranean Monk Seal, several ceatacean species and the loggerhead turtle (Caretta caretta). The zone extends from the 200-isobath to a narrow terrestrial band of 50m width. The site comprises extended Posidonia beds (Posidonion oceanicae) in very good conservation status, large shallow inlets and bays, marine caves and sea cliffs.

From Eros to Drastis: Channel of Eros - Cape Drastis     The walker’s orientation and safety is solely their responsibility. The present report, the relevant tracks (gpx) and the rest of the informational material are just supplementary. The proper equipment is necessary, depending on the weather conditions and the nature of the route.     Route’s type: linear (can be done also as mixed) Route’s duration: 1 hour and twenty minutes (one way) Route’s length: 4,400 (one way) Level of difficulty: easy Suggested season: all seasons, if weather conditions permit it. In summer, you should avoid midday hours.     The route: This is a route that essentially consists of three sections: a) the (short) route within the core of the settlement of Sidari, from the Eros Canal along the coast and up to the tarmac road, b) a circular route in the hills of the area, and c) a linear route up to Cape Drastis. The walker can do each section separately or as a whole. The main body of the route is the linear route from Eros Canal to Cape Drastis. The first part of the route starts from a parking area near the Eros Canal and the walker, after visiting it, walks around the tourist facilities of the area along the beach and then ends on the main road (asphalt). It is a route with no hills, the majority of which is on a paved path. Then it follows the asphalt road to the west to start the second part of the route. The second part of the route starts on a dirt road that from a certain point onwards is marked with red signs. The route, for a large part of it, is uphill (up to the telecommunication antennas) but not very difficult. This uphill route will reward the visitor with an excellent view of the Ionian Sea, the Diapontic Islands and the Cape of Drastis. At this point the walker has two options, either to continue towards the cape or to return to the starting point through the olive groves and dense vegetation by a particularly beautiful downhill route. The route to the cape from the antennas is a slightly downhill route from a clearly identifiable dirt road that offers excellent views. The return is by the same route, unless the walker has arranged for transport to be waiting for them in the small car park at the cape. Note: Google maps users will get the information that this route can be done by car, which is not true, because the heavy winter rains have significantly damaged the dirt road and made it inaccessible by cars (at least not those without special 4x4 specifications).   On the island of Corfu there are: Citizen Service Centres in the settlements (from north to south): Sidari, Acharavi, Kassiopi, Ypsos, Paleokastritsa, Corfu Town, Achilleion, Moraitika, Argyrades and Lefkimmi. Police stations in the settlements (from north to south): Karousades, Paleokastritsa, Corfu Town and Lefkimmi. Numerous private clinics, medical centres and pharmacies, while public health structures exist, too (from north to south): the Avliotes Regional Medical Centre, the Acharavi Regional Medical Centre, the Agios Athanasios Health Centre, the Hospital and Emergency Centre in Corfu Town, and the Lefkimmi Health Centre.   Canal d' amour (Canal of Love) Definitely, the most famous beach of Corfu and one of the most beautiful in the world is the Canal of Love or Canal d'amour. It is located between the villages of Sidari and Peroulades, on the northern coast of the island at a distance of about 32 km from Corfu Town. It is a natural sculpture created on sandstone rocks by the erosive effect of the wind and waves. Blue-green waters, small beaches and many caves form an impressive fjord, which changes from year to year as nature never stops sculpting the rocks. Legend has it that whoever swims through the narrow passage of the cave and comes out on the other side of the sea will meet the love of his life. Every summer thousands of tourists visit the small beach, its caves and coves to find love and to benefit from the beneficial properties of the clay that the sea and its unique rocks provide. Cape Drastis After the village of Peroulades, a few kilometers after the busy and touristic Sidari, at the northernmost point of the island, hidden in a beautiful forested landscape, there is a pristine, imposing and at the same time enchanting landscape, Cape Drastis. Its impressive formations, with deep bays, caves, islets and crystal clear waters will show you what the Canal d'amour would have looked like before it was altered by human exploitation. The Dragon can be accessed either by foot or by sea, and this has protected it from human interference, preserving all its natural and virgin beauty.   During the route the walker will encounter QR information signs at the following points: a) start of the route at the parking area at the Eros Canal, b) at the Eros Canal (on the paved road), c) where the dirt road starts from the asphalt road, d) at the junction of the dirt road in the direction of the march, e) at the viewpoint of the Cape of Drastis, (f) at the junction of the dirt road in the direction of the route, (g) at the small parking area at Cape Drastis, (g) at the viewpoint of Drastis (end of the route at the Cape), (h) at the junction of the dirt road in the direction of the alternative circular route.

In the beautiful forest: A circular route in the forest of Kalafationes   The walker’s orientation and safety is solely their responsibility. The present report, the relevant tracks (gpx) and the rest of the informational material are just supplementary. The proper equipment is necessary, depending on the weather conditions and the nature of the route.   Route’s type: circular Route’s duration: one hour and twenty minutes Route’s length: 4.000m Level of difficulty: easy Suggested season: all seasons, if weather conditions permit it. It is recommended to avoid rainy days or the days afterwards.   The route The route starts from the parking area of the settlement and after walking through the beautiful settlement we reach the central square. There we have to be careful to take the right cobbled path leading to the trail. It is the small downhill, to the north - northeast, next to the large cobbled path. After walking a little more on the outskirts of the settlement, take the path north-northwest. The path is not marked but now and then we find a yellow wooden sign with a hedgehog. The trail passes through lush vegetation providing a dreamy shady environment. The trail is accompanied, in many places (especially at the beginning), by a stream that makes it muddy and therefore slippery. On days after rain it may be difficult to cross. Since the path is not marked, caution is required at junctions in order to maintain our direction. When the downhill path ends, we come across a narrow stream which is easily passed. After this the path becomes uphill, we meet a dirt road, which we take on the uphill side until the moment we meet a gate and next to it the path starts uphill again, which becomes very steep on the way. At its end, the path meets an asphalt road, which joins the main road of the settlement, where after passing the interesting area with the wells, we head to the starting point of the route, the parking area.   On the island of Corfu there are: Citizen Service Centres in the settlements (from north to south): Sidari, Acharavi, Kassiopi, Ypsos, Paleokastritsa, Corfu Town, Achilleion, Moraitika, Argyrades and Lefkimmi. Police stations in the settlements (from north to south): Karousades, Paleokastritsa, Corfu Town and Lefkimmi. Numerous private medical offices, medical centres and pharmacies, while public health structures exist (from north to south): the Avliotes Regional Medical Centre, the Acharavi Regional Medical Centre, the Agios Athanasios Health Centre, the Hospital and Emergency Centre in Corfu Town, and the Lefkimmi Health Centre,   Kalafationes Kalafationes are located in Middle Corfu, 9 km from Corfu town and at an altitude of 182 m., between a dense olive grove and a virgin forest of chestnut trees. It has 461 inhabitants (2011 census). It is a designated traditional settlement. Walking along its traditional cobbled streets, you will admire the folk architecture of the houses and enjoy the hospitality of the inhabitants in the traditional cafes. The history of the settlement dates back to ancient times. Evidence for this, is the existence of ancient settlements in the wider area (Kamara, Kouramades, Kastelanoi, etc.), but also the fact that the calcite found on the hills of Kalafationes and Varypatades was used in antiquity for the construction of the columns and the epithelium of the Doric Temple of Kardaki. It suffered, like other villages on the island, great destruction during the invasion of Barbarossa in 1573. The name of the settlement "Kalafationes" comes from the work of reed drilling, which was the livelihood of many of its inhabitants, either by waterproofing boats or, probably, barrels. In Kalafaties it is worth visiting the modern equestrian club, where riding and therapeutic riding lessons are held, as well as the tzitsibira factory, the only one that still produces this traditional soft drink, a relic of the British rule on the island. In the wider area there are five churches, Agios Ioannis (in the area of Gerama), the Church of Prophitis Ilias, The churches of Agios Ioannis (in the centre of the village) which is the metropolitan church of the village, Panagia (also in the centre of the village), Agioi Pantes (in the south-eastern edge of the village) where it has been moved and currently is functioning as cemetery, and Agia Marina (in the district of Kothoniki). The neighbouring villages are Varypatades, Kouramades, Viros and Kastellani of Mesi. Kobitsi Forest Just a few kilometers away from Corfu town, the village of Kobitsi is located at the top of a hill with a panoramic view of Peleka, the lagoon of Halikiopoulos and the mountain of Agioi Deka. In Kobitsi there are the mansion of the homonymous family, the high bell tower in the church of Agioi Apostoloi and the restored Venetian fountain. Just outside the settlement there is a beautiful forest with pine and chestnut trees, an ideal place for a walk on foot or by bicycle through the lush vegetation and wild flowers, accompanied by the chirping of birds. Varipatades It is one of the most beautiful settlements, belonging to the municipal unit of Achilleion. It is located next to Kalafationes. It is a designated listed settlement, built on the slopes of a hill, the top of which is covered with olive and cypress trees.   Walking along the cobbled streets of Varipatades, we will admire the tall mansions with pastel colours and Corfiot beige tiles, the traditional houses, built almost one on top of the other, the small traditional square, where the church of Agios Stefanos is located. In Varipatades, a unique custom is revived on the evening of Holy Friday: Hundreds of snail shells, the so-called "boboloi" are made into lamps, with cotton wicks in oil, and placed lit all along the route where the Epitaph passes, creating an extremely solemn atmosphere.

At the observatory: Matthaios - Pantokrator     The walker’s orientation and safety is solely their responsibility. The present report, the relevant tracks (gpx) and the rest of the informational material are just supplementary. The proper equipment is necessary, depending on the weather conditions and the nature of the route.     Route’s type: mixed Route’s duration: 1 hour and 50 minutes Route’s length: 6.200 m Level of difficulty: easy Suggested season: all seasons, if weather conditions permit it     The route The start, and therefore the end of the route, is indicative since there are other paths and roads that connect the route to the monastery with the settlement. However, this particular route is suggested because the settlement has limited parking space which is getting worse during the summer months and therefore walkers who arrive at Matthaios with their own vehicle should enter the centre of the settlement. This particular route starts outside the settlement, for the reasons mentioned above, on the dirt road leading to the monastery. At the first big turn ("fourketa"), the marked path starts in a northerly direction. The trail is uphill in a lush and shady environment with a smooth ascent. After a while and to the right, a more difficult and steeper trail begins and ends at the same point but higher. The choice is up to the walker. The two trails are marked with red and blue signs. After the "junction" of the two paths to the east there is an excellent viewpoint towards the Ionian Sea and the Monastery is quite close from this point. After visiting the Monastery of Pantokrator (if the site is open) we make a western detour of the complex along the wall and we come across two wonderful viewpoints: one looking west and the Ionian Sea and shortly afterwards and the other one, looking east and overlooking the settlement, northern Corfu and the coasts of Epirus and Albania. The trail continues downhill in a shady, overgrown environment and in some places it becomes steep and requires increased attention. At this part of the route there is a junction where another path leads to Prasoudi beach. After about 600 meters of descent we meet the dirt road (leading to the monastery) and continue downhill to the starting point of the route. Alternatively, about fifty meters after we met the dirt road, a steep path starts on our right, leading us a little lower towards the settlement (not suggested). After the end of the path it is worth a visit to the Byzantine castle and the Paleolithic cave at Gardiki   On the island of Corfu there are: Citizen Service Centres in the settlements (from north to south): Sidari, Acharavi, Kassiopi, Ypsos, Paleokastritsa, Corfu Town, Achilleion, Moraitika, Argyrades and Lefkimmi. Police stations in the settlements (from north to south): Karousades, Paleokastritsa, Corfu Town and Lefkimmi. Numerous private medical offices, medical centres and pharmacies, while public health structures exist (from north to south): Avliotes Regional Medical Centre, Acharavi Regiona Medical Centre, Agios Athanasios Health Centre, Hospital and Emergency Centre in Corfu Town, Lefkimi Health Centre.   Agios Matthaios In the fertile plain near the castle of Gardiki, there used to be the village of Zygonos, which was destroyed by Hayreddin Barbarossa. Then the crops were gutted, the population of the countryside was wiped out and about 20,000 Corfiots were sold as slaves. Agios Matthaios was built in the 16th century after this invasion. It is a traditional settlement located about 25 km from Corfu town and has 1,088 inhabitants (2011 census). The settlement is built amphitheatrically and the view of the green countryside is fantastic. Here you will also see the cave that, according to the island's inhabitants, is connected to the sea, the Hole of Pelau. Its homonymous beach is awarded with the blue flag and is very popular. The deserted beach of Halikounas is also located near the village. The area is also ideal for excursions, such as a visit to the octagonal castle of Gardiki, which dates back to the era of the Epirus Despotate (13th century) and in which or to the monastery of Christ Pantokrator, there are remains of ancient temples. Monastery of Pantokrator Near the settlement of Agios Matthaios, in the area of Mesi, is the Monastery of Christ Pantokrator. The ruined monastery, built on the slope of Mount Agios Matthaios, probably dates back to the beginning of the 14th century. In the area there are several abandoned buildings and the church of Pantokrator, as well. The church is of royal type, with arched doors and windows, and a sloping roof. It is celebrated on 6th August. The Castle of Gardiki It is located near the village of Agios Matthaios, 23 km from Corfu Town It is a 13th century Byzantine castle and the only medieval fortress that survives in the southern part of the island. It is most likely to have been built during the period of the Despotate of Epirus by the ruler of the Despotate Michael I Angelos Komninos. Its purpose was to protect the border from pirates, but also from the brief raids of the Italian states. Some historians date it to the 11th century, after the fortification of the western border during the Byzantine Empire. It has an octagonal shape with eight rectangular towers in a radial arrangement, the most important of which is the southern tower. Paleolithic cave in Gardiki The Paleolithic cave in Gardiki is located in an olive grove at an altitude of 60 meters and it is located very close to the Byzantine fortification of Gardiki and Prasoudi beach. It is a horizontal cave with two entrances and a length of about 20 meters. Near the southeastern entrance there are large rocks, indicating cave's larger size in the past. It is 13 meters high and has a rocky roof that has succumbed to gradual erosion and massive rainfall, causing water to drip in some places. It was a base for hunters and gatherers and it is considered as one of the most important prehistoric sites in Greece. The first excavations began in 1965 by Professor Augustus Sordinas. Evidence of human presence was discovered, dating back to the Palaeolithic Age (20,000 BC). The excavations revealed flint tools, animal bones and stones with ochre residue. During the Palaeolithic period the sea level was much lower and Corfu was not an island but connected to mainland Greece. The separation from Epirus occurred during the Neolithic period, around 10,000 BC, when the sea level rose as the ice melted. Inside the cave you can see the geological situation of the past. The cave is accessible but unsuitable for people with disabilities due to the climbing needed.  

In the historic salt pans: In Alexandros Salt Pans (Kariotes) The walker’s orientation and safety is solely their responsibility. The present report, the relevant tracks (gpx) and the rest of the informational material are just supplementary. The proper equipment is necessary, depending on the weather conditions and the nature of the route.  Route’s type: linear (the start point is the same as the end point) Route’s duration: 40 minutes (oneway) Route’s length: 2,600 metres (oneway) Level of difficulty: easy Suggested season: All seasons, weather permitting. In summer, you should avoid the midday hours because there are no shady places along most of the route. The route A gentle flat route in the special landscape and surrounding area of the salt marshes and the eastern lagoon of Lefkada with its scattered fortifications. The route starts from the Provincial Road of Lefkada - Vasiliki at the settlement of Karyotes. At the start of the route there is a bus stop and an information sign pointing to "Drepano bay" in Latin characters. Also on the provincial road there are, from both directions, brown information signs pointing to 'Alexandros Alykes'. We follow the small asphalt road to the east where after about 200 metres we reach the shores of the salt pans. We continue for another 200 metres in the shady surroundings of eucalyptus trees and we change direction to the east, always next to the salt marshes. At this point and on the sea side (south) is the beautiful and unique beach of Karyotes. In about 250 meters we meet the chapel of Agios Panteleimon, which basically marks the end of the shady path. From this point, and especially from the point where the "tongue" that separates the salt marshes from the lagoon narrows (where there are some ruins of stone-built houses), the landscape has changed dramatically. On the one hand, we have the salt marshes and on the other the fortified lagoon with the castles located on the small islets of Forti and Fortino (the smallest to the north), while on the opposite side the castle of Agios Georgios dominates. Right in front of us, the sailing boats pass quietly by, while on the side of the salt marshes the birds have set up their own fair. This special landscape is marred by the necessary high-voltage electricity poles, but they also add their own touch to its peculiarity. We continue on our way to the end of the tongue, here it should be mentioned that there is no way to get to the opposite side and complete our route in a circle, and therefore we return by the same route. The route can also be done by car and is therefore suitable for disabled people. It is also suitable for cycling. On the island of Lefkada there are: Citizen Service Centres in the town of Lefkada, in Nydri and in Vasiliki. Police Headquarters in the town of Lefkada and a Police Station in Vlyho. In addition to private health structures there are: Hospital in Lefkada Town, Health Centre in Vasiliki and Regional Medical Centre in Syvros. Alexander Salt Pans Alexander Salt pans in Karyotes began their operation in the 17th century, south of the old salt pans of the city and near the port Drepano. They stopped producing salt in the late 1980s. In 1993 the Ministry of Culture, recognising their cultural and historical value, declared the salt pans and the accompanying fortifications Alexandros and Konstantinos a listed monument. It is now a Protected Industrial Museum and part of the Natura 2000 Network. The latter is perfectly understandable, and necessary, since the salt marshes area remains to be an area of rich avifauna and flora even today. The industrial museum, is non-existent, since everything is now in ruins, except for the natural salt pans and two restored buildings. Salt used to be one of the main export products of the island. The first to organize the regular production of salt in Lefkada were the Frankish rulers of the island, Charles I Tokkos and his wife, Frangiska Atzagioli. Salt was one of the most profitable commodities at that time. The first mention of salt being loaded from the port of Lefkada onto ships from Ragusa was made in 1415. Shortly before that date, the construction of the first salt marshes is estimated to have taken place. With the conquest of Lefkada by the Venetians in 1684, a larger and more scientific exploitation was carried out with the organization of new salt pans, the Alexandros salt pans, south of the old ones and near the port of Drepano. At the same time the old Frankish saltworks were expanded. In 1948 the operation of the old saltworks was stopped. The buildings were abandoned and deserted and the pans were filled with silt. In 1990 the site of the old salt pans was bazaared and offered for the expansion of the town of Lefkada. Of the salt produced in Lefkada, most of it was transported to the warehouses of the monopoly in Venice or Corfu, while a part of it remained in the warehouses of the salt works to be sold for the needs of the inhabitants of Lefkada, Preveza, Vonitsa and Kefalonia. The working conditions during the period when the salt works last operated were harsh. The majority of them were women working from morning till night, often barefoot, carrying the salt on their heads.  Karyotes Only 4 km from the town of Lefkada is the settlement of Karyotes with its salt pans, surrounded by dense vegetation and next to the stunning beaches of the eastern side of the island. The old village was abandoned, due to landslides, and the current one is a modern settlement, with a modern layout and plenty of greenery. Karyotes is located in front of the historic hill of Koulmos, on which there are ruins of the acropolis of the ancient city of Nirikos. Forti Near the village of Karyotes in Lefkada, there are two almost unknown islands, Forti and Fortino. Forti, before it was cut off at the beginning of the 20th century, was the tip of the peninsula of Nea Alykes.  There used to be a small fort there, called Alexandros, but it is better known as Touri or Toreta, meaning Little Tower. The fortress had existed since the Venetian period and was particularly important for the protection of the island, due to its location at the entrance to the strait of Lefkada. It was named Alexandros, in honour of the Russian Tsar, when the Russians renovated it in 1807, to protect the island from Ali Pasha's expansionist plans. Fortino Fortino is a small island, just north of Forti. Here, there is also a small Venetian fort, which covers the whole island, and served as a lighthouse and outpost. The chain was attached to it, which, in case of emergency, closed the southern entrance to the lagoon of Lefkada. As in the neighbouring Forty, the fort was rebuilt in 1804 by the Russians, who gave it the name "Konstantinos" in honour of the then Tsar's surrogate, Alexander. In Roman times there was a bridge here, which connected the island with the opposite mainland of Akarnania.

Cephalonian Fir Abies cephalonica is a Greek endemic species, growing naturally only in Greece. It was first described as a new species by the English botanist JW Loudon in 1838. This together with its phytogeographical importance were the main reasons Mt.Aenos was declared a National Forest in 1962.

The proposed site covers the marine area from the entrance of Argostoli Gulf and expands towards the village of Lourdata, following the coastline and Mounda Bay to the south-east point of the island. The sea bed has a smooth inclination and the substrate is sandy with a small amount of limestone rock. On the limestone rocks distinctive zones of Cytoseira crinata and calcareous Rhodophyceae dominate. Additionally, large amounts of the Rhodophyceae Laurencia papillosa and the Chlorophyceae Dasycladus vermicularis cover a substantial portion of the hard substrate.Source: Natura2000 viewer, European Comission.

Overlooking the Ionian Sea: Exo Chora - Kampi The walker’s orientation and safety is solely their responsibility. The present report, the relevant tracks (gpx) and the rest of the informational material are just supplementary. The proper equipment is necessary, depending on the weather conditions and the nature of the route.  Route’s type: linear Route’s duration: about 1 hour Route’s length: 3.500 metres Level of difficulty: easy Suggested season: All seasons, weather permitting. In summer, avoid midday hours. The route It is a linear downhill route with landscape changes, without any difficulty. The route starts in front of the square of the church of Exo Chora (Agios Nikolaos) and after visiting the old olive tree and the wells (which are located "behind" the olive tree to the west). Head east from the asphalt road and after ninety meters turn onto the small road to the south. After three hundred metres this small road meets the main asphalt road which we follow downhill for another three hundred and twenty metres where we turn southwards at the junction we meet. The road continues to be downhill and at one point it becomes a dirt road. At a distance of one thousand one hundred metres, at the relevant junction, we leave it and follow a strongly southerly path along the smaller dirt road we encounter. This dirt road in several places has problems but not significant for the average walker. It passes through areas of low vegetation with excellent views. After about one thousand two hundred metres we are behind the sports facilities of the village of Kampi and continuing in the same direction, after a while we meet the asphalt road and the plateau that marks the end of the route. The route can also be done from the opposite direction (from Kampi to Exo Hora) but it will be uphill. The duration of the hike (excluding any stops) is around an hour not counting the time for the return trip, which is by the same route. However, we can have a vehicle waiting for us at Kabi. On the island of Zakynthos there are: Citizen Service Centres in the settlements (from north to south) of Alykes, Zakynthos Town, Machairado and Pantokratoras. Police Station in Katastari and General Police Department in Zakynthos Town. A number of private clinics, medical centres and pharmacies and public health facilities are located in Zakynthos Town, General Hospital, and a Health Centre in Kallithea. Exo Chora Exochora or Oxochora is a small mountain settlement below Mount Vrachionas. It has been known since the 16th century and, because it survived the 1953 earthquake, it preserves several pre-earthquake buildings. About 120 people live in the settlement, engaged in tourism, but also in the production of grain, oil and grapes, the famous Avgoustiati, which produces an excellent red wine. The most remarkable monument of Exochora is the church of Agios Nikolaos, built in 1701. Its iconostasis, work by Nikola Vidale, is carved in wood and gilded. Next to it, stands the bell tower of the church, which has an impressive architecture. It is also worth visiting the small Venetian tower, an old observatory of the Italians during the Second World War, a point of excellent view, but also the old wells of the settlement, the old plane tree and the old olive tree. Wells of Exochora These wells are group wells, which are a monument of the British rule on the island. These wells are water reservoirs, which use the surface flow of rainwater, preventing evaporation as much as possible. They are constructed with internal masonry, without a coating (bordellana), to ensure both peripheral drainage and filtering of the water from the ground. They are found in areas where the water ponds, due to heavy rainfall and the clay composition of the soil. They were accessible to all the villagers, who shared this important resource fairly. Even today, every family in the village has two wells at its disposal (in total, around 70 are still in operation) to enjoy their water, which is not only watering but also drinking. Kampi Kampi is located towards the west coast of the island and the Ionian Sea at an altitude of 178 meters and 26 km west of the town of Zakynthos, near Exo Chora. It is surrounded by olive trees and vineyards and faces the bay of Schiza and the open sea from a height of 300 meters, offering an excellent view. The settlement of Kampi has survived to a large extent from the devastating earthquakes of 1953, preserves many popular village houses of one or two storeys, intact, and has been officially classified as architecturally interesting. It is mentioned already in the 15th century. The Mycenaean cemetery with its 14 carved graves containing grave goods, clay vessels and pieces of brass weapons is an asset of the area. All the tombs have the same form, they are narrow, square, pit-shaped, carved into the limestone rock of the hill.  Today, according to the 2011 census, 59 inhabitants live in Kampi. Centenarian olive tree In the square of Exochora there is a very old olive tree, which can hardly be found anywhere else. Its trunk creates a huge modern sculpture, while its foliage is lush and evergreen. It is a monument to nature. During the route, the walker will encounter QR information signs at the following points: α) In the central square (in front of the olive tree and the church), b) at the start of the downhill road, c) at the junction of the asphalt road to the south-southwest, d) at the junction of the dirt road to the south, e) behind the sports facilities, f) at the junction of the dirt road and the asphalt road, g) at the end of the route on the plateau.
