The hike will start from the nearest bus access point at Porta Sinias on Sunday, March 16th, 2025, with the Corfu Mountaineering and Hiking Club. We will walk through the eponymous settlement and ascend towards Rou.
From there, we follow an old path that was recently cleared, and via Traní, we cross paths with the classic trail connecting Meggoula with Palies Sinias. Walking on the gentle slopes with unobstructed views, we approach the old settlement.
There will be a brief stop and an ascent towards Vigla, reaching the kiosk. From here, we follow a well-maintained path that leads smoothly to Old Peritheia. There will be a scheduled 30-minute stop for coffee, light snacks, and photos. Afterwards, following the asphalt road, we will meet the bus at the nearest access point.
