Avrakontes - Spathi Summit
(Αβρακόντες - Κορυφή Σπαθί)
From the Avrakontes village the course heads south, going up the northwestern slopes of the mountain, passing through the bare arid limestone landscape. The path turns east to climb to the Spathi Summit. The view from there to the surrounding area, the semi-mountainous villages and the sea in the background, is dreamy.
