Gennadi and Asklipio €35pp
Duration:
4hrs Asklipio is untouched by tourism, the white village en-chants the visitor with its white houses and narrow streets. The wonderfull frescoes in the Church of the Dormition of the Virgin of Mary's passing away are absolute jewels. The Castle is a rough area to walk inside and is resting place for the local goats, but fine views soon takes away your attention of the ground underfoot and the local residents, the fire damage caused to the trees can still be seen with the numerous brown dead trees on the surrounding hills, the line between the green undamged trees can be clearly seen from the castle showing how close the fire came to this beautifull little village. This 4hr walk offers a broad panorama view of the sea on the way back and ends at a lovely sandy beach.
