Walks
There are some good walks in the area, between the
olive groves or at the mountains, starting from
Prinos or Kazaviti. A nice walk is from Skala Prinos
to Prinos, parallel to main road, which leads to
Prinos through the olive trees and is recommended
for a visit to Prinos especially on Monday for the
Bazar.
Walks around the
island are organised from agencies. Most popular is
on the highest mountain Ypsario starting from
Panagia.
Recommended walks.
