On September 18th 2018 we walked the short track between Docheiariou and Xenofontos.
With the detour it is only 2 km and it takes less then half an hour.
First I will show some pictures at the beginning of the hike, near the entrance of the Docheiariou monastery.
A little bit further you will arrive at a spot in a olive tree orchard, where you might take a wrong turn, as we did. We continued to walk straight and then you end up behind Xenofontos. Here you have to follow the signs going down to the sea (also see the first image in this blog, at the place of the red arrow).
Your contribution is much appreciated. With your support you maintain our website and make it possible to continue our work and create new content. Thanks!

The ‘unknown saint’ is St George. The text on the rock is ‘Agiasmos’, which means the water of the spring there has been blessed.
