// Paranymfi – Treis Ekklisies – Agios Pavlos

Sunday 1st November 2026

A circular hike in the wild and beautiful Asterousia Mountains, surrounded by the scent of pine trees and offering breathtaking views of the endless blue sea.

About 2 km beyond Paranymfi, we set off on a beautiful hike through the enchanting Asterousia Mountains. Following dirt roads and trails, we pass by Agio Pnevma and reach Treis Ekklisies, where, if time permits, we can take a short break for a swim. We then continue through the famous carob forest of Treis Ekklisies, climb up to Agios Pavlos and finish our hike back in Paranymfi.

The route is 17 km long, with a maximum elevation of 580 m.
