Riding through Olive groves and Oak trees we climb in the mountain to return to Ag. Efimia passing Monasteries and old destroyed villages from the earthquake that took place in 1953 while enjoying the view of the Ionian sea from above.
We will make two stops. First Palia Vlahata a very famous traditional village to rest a bit and next stop will be at Themata Monastery which is the highest point of our ride.
