Argalasti – Xynovrysi

The route starts from the central square of Argalasti, which is the seat of the Municipality of Southern Pelion. In the beginning, we cross the main road and follow the asphalt road opposite the bus stop and pass next to a large stone-built fountain. At the end of the cement road we follow the cobbled path which very soon continues as a dirt path for the next 1900m. We quit the last houses and farmhouses of the village and start walking in Mediterranean vegetation of phrygana, small and woody shrubs, such as juniper, holly, oak and strawbery trees. We meet a dirt road and follow it to the left for 100m.

Then we leave this dirt road and enter an olive grove where the path is barely visible. We descend to a ravine and cross it over a single-arched stone bridge. We ascend slightly and after an aold fountain we meet a dirt road which we follow for 660m until we reach the path. This part of the path looks like an eroded alley. We follow it for 370m. and a next short alley leads us to a plowed field, where obviously the path is indistinguishable.

After the field we continue on a very well maintained path and then on a dirt road for 390m. where we see a large house with high fencing on our right. We walk on the side of the fence on a path with dense vegetation. Once we reach a dirt road we will descend to the main road of Xinovrisi. Following a series of cobbled streets we reach the village square. On the other side of the road we see the parish church of Panagia. In the square there is a fountain and restaurants.
