Hiking in the enchanting Sithonia

To the west the Toroneos gulf and the view of the first foot and to the east the imposing Athos. There are lacy beaches around and the pines dominate the hills. Sithonia, the second leg of Halkidiki, is so beautiful that it is really worth touring off the road, on its paths, and discovering every bit of it. In Sithonia, six walking routes, numbered 7-12, have been engraved and marked with "Triena".

ROUTE 7: Olive Coast - Agios Pavlos - Olive Coast

It is an easy route through forest roads and narrower paths that offers beautiful sea views. It starts from the coast of Elia and the hotel Athena Palace. It continues uphill on the hill above the shore and reaches the hill of St. Paul where there is the church of the same name built near an ancient spring. A little higher, at an altitude of about 300 meters, is the hill Petros, a large rock surrounded by trees and with amazing views of the entire peninsula. Through the path with the special signage and the same forest road, the route ends again on the coast of Elia.

ROUTE 8: Nikiti - Agios Nikolaos - Nikiti

This is a circular walking route that through forest paths crosses the hill behind Nikiti and reaches the village of Agios Nikolaos. The starting point is next to the school of Nikiti. The tour takes place in the trees, while you will also meet the picturesque church of Prophet Elias.

ROUTE 9: Neos Marmaras - Parthenon

Πρόκειται για μια κυκλική περιπατητική διαδρομή που μέσα από δασικά μονοπάτια διασχίζει τον λόφο πίσω από τη Νικήτη και φτάνει στο χωριό του Αγίου Νικολάου. Το σημείο εκκίνησης βρίσκεται δίπλα στο σχολείο της Νικήτης. Η περιήγηση γίνεται μέσα στα δέντρα, ενώ θα συναντήσετε και το γραφικό εκκλησάκι του Προφήτη Ηλία.
