Estimated time: It will only cost you some 20 minutes to descend from Chorió to the harbour of Psáthi or the other way round.

Route description: (0h00) Just like for all the other hikes you have to leave from the Kámbos. This time you take the little street on the left of the row of houses with the kafenío and the kámara (a vaulted passage). This street goes up and it runs on the left of the Byzantine church of Ioánnis Chrysóstomos. You follow the signposts to the "archaeological museum", you thus walk around the kástro and you get to the museum and then to the large Mitrópoli. 

[The museum is often closed – it should be open, though, from 8.30am to 3pm, every day except on Mondays.]

(0h05) Between the museum and the large church - near the war monument – you take the broad staircase going down. This is the ancient road to the harbour and the staircase is painted with white figures and squares. After 1 minute you keep to the left, of course, and in this way you descend for a few more minutes, until you arrive at the asphalt road. You take a right for a short while, but after 40-50 metres you find the continuation of the paved path on your left. Unfortunately, this old trail is almost completely covered with concrete.

The platía or Kámbos, the central square of Chorió.

Agios Ioánnis Chrysóstomos.

The old path to the harbour of Psáthi.

(0h12) After 3 minutes you pass a small church and also the trail to Goúpa, which starts immediately past this church on the left – see the hike Chorió - Klíma. You continue to descend to the little harbour. After 3 minutes you reach the asphalt road, you go left and after a little while you get to the waterside. Straight across you notice the small jetty for the Panagía Faneroméni, the small ferry boat going to Pollónia on the island of Mílos. On the right there is the pleasant restaurant "To Kýma", but the road continues a little to the left, where there is also a larger pier for the bigger boats.

The little harbour of Psáthi.

(0h18) The return route is quite self-evident: from the pier you return to the asphalt road, and already after one minute you find the ‘old’ path on the right – in the beginning it is completely made out of concrete and also further down the old paving is largely covered with concrete. You pass the little church and after four more minutes you reach the asphalt road, which you follow to the right for one minute.

(0h28) You then find the ancient road again, which goes up on the left and which has become wider (signpost to Kástro). After 5 minutes you arrive at the large main church of Chorió, the mitrópoli. On the left you can find the archaeological museum, but you can also stroll the streets of the kástro. Another option is to just continue straight ahead to the heart of Chorió, the platía from where you left earlier today.  (0h38)
