Starting from the beach of Platanias, we initially ascend towards Lafkos following the course of the old kalderimi (east route). When we reach the asphalt to Mikro beach, we immediately turn right on a wide earth road. In 100 meters we find the path on the right, leading to the monastery of Agios Spiridon (opening hours 8-12 and 16-sunset, closed on Fridays). Then return back to Platanias through a connection to the route Promiri-Platanias. Total time with stops 3,5 hours. Signed with round signs and red marks.
