Ioulída - Agios Konstantínos - Mylopótamos - Fléa - Korissía |
||
|
Evaluation:
This hike is the official hike [2] and leads to the green valley of
Mylopótamos. That is the place where, in earlier times, 11 water mills
made use of the water of the plentiful well of Fléa. Unfortunately, the
beautiful trail between Ioulída and Korissía was for a large part
destroyed as a result of the construction of the modern road. Only
between the chapel of Agios Konstantínos and the valley of Mylopótamos,
you can walk on the ancient and broad trail. Therefore, the hike follows
the asphalt road for nearly 2 km and between Mylopótamos and Korissía it
follows a fairly monotonous gravel road. It thus gets and evaluation of
**. Estimated time:
You have to walk on the asphalt road for some 25 minutes. The nice
trajectory between Agios Konstantínos and Mylopótamos takes also 25
minutes and the detour to the first water mills will cost you about half
an hour. Finally, it will take you another half an hour to reach the
small harbour of Korissía. An actual walking time (AWT) of 1h45, which
refers to a peaceful hike of about 3 hours in total walking time.
Route description:
(0h00) On the parking lot of Ioulída you take the asphalt road to
the harbour of Korissía; you follow this road for about 2 km or 25
minutes. Only in the sharp hairpin curve to the right you can see the
broad, old path in front of you [2] (hiking sign Mylopótamos 25’ /
Nerómyli 40’). To the left, you see the chapel of Agios Konstantínos,
with next to it a well.
(0h25)
You then follow a marvellous and broad path, which is nicely paved; it
easily brings you to the valley of Mylopótamos in about 25 minutes. For
the last end, you continue straight ahead until past the chapel.

(0h48)
One minute after the picturesque chapel with a red roof you get to the
cross trail and you thus take a left at first; a little further you veer
to the right [2] along the wall.
You continue nicely between
walls, you ascend gradually, also on beautiful rocky steps and in this
way you slowly rise above the valley.

this trail you can reach the road that leads to the well of Fléa.] (1h01)
The best thing to do now is to return along the same way you came, until
you get to the beautiful pavement again. You then go straight ahead in
the direction of the main valley and the main road. You should have a
look at the nice garden of the house on the right – a kind lady even
invited us for a "kafedáki"... (1h16)
In this way, you reach the asphalt road, but straight across you go down
the concrete slope, between the "zacharoplastío" Aristaios and the
garage. Behind the garage you will then find a somewhat sloppy gravel
road, which you follow to the left. But still, this trajectory is
preferable to the monotonous asphalt road. You follow the gravel road
for some 21 minutes – in fact, you follow the bed of the river Elixos.
You then take
the small concrete road on the right of the bed, which you follow for
about 2 minutes.
In this way, you get
to the asphalt road that runs around the large bay of Korissía. You
obviously take a left and after 5 minutes you thus reach the centre of
the small harbour. (1h44)
