Detailed Itinerary
​On Day 1, those travellers who book the transfer, from the airport are transported to their hotel at Agioi Anargyroi. Time to relax at the hotel or visit the nearby stone built village of Miliou.
​

On Day 2 walkers ascend from Agioi Anargyroi (from an elevation of under 200 m) to the top of Laona plateau ​(600 - 650 m of elevation) and the stone-built village of Drousheia, where they spend the night. On the way they pass through two other traditional villages (Kato Akourdaleia and Kritou Terra) as well as the tiny medieval Agia Paraskevi chapel, a watermill, vineyards, orchards and more. Those who want to sidetrack, could visit Kremiotis waterfall near Kritou Terra village (3-4 extra km depending on the selected route).

On the south part of Akamas ridge

On Day 4 walkers from Neo Chorio village go initially west past medieval Agios Minas chapel and Smiyies picnic site. From there they head north at some point ascending on the imposing Moutti Tis Sotiras peak, from where they enjoy glorious views of the north west, and of the north coast, all the way to Pomos in the north east. The descent from the peak is for many walkers a huge highlight of the whole trip. Walkers leave Akamas from small yet mythical Baths of Aphrodite cave. 

Tiny medieval Agia Paraskevi chapel

​
On Day 3 walkers traverse the south part of pristine Akamas peninsula enjoying glorious views of the west coast as well as of the east part of Chrysochou Bay. About a kilometer before reaching the twin peaks of Pissouromoutti and Smiyies, walkers turn initially south east, and then north east to yet another stone-built village, Neo Chorio (elevation 150 - 200 m), where they spend the night.
