On September 26th 2013 we walked this hike of 3,14 km’s in 56 minutes. If you do this hike without stopping (to have a closer look at places of interest and to shoot pictures), you can do this distance in half an hour. The route is along the coast is easy with a maximum altitude of 37 meters.
First you will pass arsanas Konstamonitou
This is what lies ahead: the beautiful Mount Athos coastline
Old olive trees near a kaliva
Unfortunately nobody was home
Looking back towards arsanas Sografou
These big machines destroy the monopati’s: this one was out of order and left in the fields
The path continues next to the pebble beach
At 4/5 meters high we saw a small cave
I could’t resist to have a closer look: the cave was deserted and I found some small items
and three tiny icons
View from the cave to the sea: maybe once a hermit lived here?
The rock where the cave is
Even on these small roads cars pass by
Remnants of the past: an electricity pole (or telephone?) lies on the rocky grounds
Just before arriving at Docheiariou: a wild boar farm! Why would the monks breed these boars? To export the meat? Definitely not for their own purpose!
The last part of the hike: arriving at Docheiariou (with the ugly red crane)

Wim Voogd, 10/9
Interesting item, mr W. Voogd, with the deserted cave and the – despite the occasional bulldozer and car – beautiful coastline. An enviable walk. Deserted bulldozers are a common feature in the Greek (especially island-) landscape: Subsidy used, machine forgotten.
