Those
who love hiking can explore
the
plush pine inland of Poros.
Discovering the paths through the
untouched natural environment,
smelling the scent of pine everywhere
and admiring the fascinating
view
of the surrounding area from the hills
of the island will
be a great reward
for
those who choose to do it.
Trizinia...
Poros and generally the province
of Trizinia is one of the few areas that have a wide variety
of interests to offer which would be unfair
to our island as well as to thousands of Greek
and foreign visitors to remain inaccessible.
Environment...
The modern visitor is searching for something
more
than soaking up some sun or other forms of entertainment.
Today, being more mature, more educated, and
sensitive to environmental issues, history and
culture he explores and learns everything about
an area inside out.
Escape...
Searching for an alternative
way to escape. A hiking excursion to places
of historical, geological and naturalist interest,
through paths to the unfamiliar side of our
island. Until the 60's, the road went up to
the Monastery towards the right side of Kanali and up to the left part of Neorio.
Routes...
Locals and tourists went to various locations
of Poros on foot or on horseback through the
beautiful trails, many of which are preserved
until today.
The
path started from Sinikismos, passed through
the fountains of Virgin
Mary, continued to
Profiti Elia, then to Saint
Stathis and finally
ended up at the Temple
of Poseidon.
Another
way to go to Poseidon’s Temple was from the
Monastery through the residential area of
“Samouili”.
From
the Temple one could go down to Vagionia to
go swimming through Foussa or go fishing in
Skarpiza passing by "Cro", a beautiful
estate with running water.
Across,
in Galata, tourists started from Plaka with
donkeys to visit the famous
Lemon Forest,
with its watermills and waterfall which help
maintain the green lemon trees.
Another
route was the one that started from the village
of Trizina, across to Galata and passed through
the boulder of Theseus to end up in the Diavologefyro.
