Vyzitsa – Kala Nera

The trail Kala Nera – Vyzitsa can start either from the beach of Kala Nera, or from the main road Volos – Argalasti (from the beach, go up the main street of the settlement and reach the main road Volos – Argalasti and walk a bit to the right on the asphalt until the beginning of the path to Vyzitsa).

In the beginning, we run on an earth path, but soon we reach the well preserved cobbled path. We go up smoothly through an olive grove and eventually reach the settlement of Papagianneika (fountain). We continue north and pass by the church of Stavros. In the sparse rural settlement of Agios Athanasios, we pass over the railway bridge of the tourist railway Ano Lechonia – Milies.

We continue on a cobbled path, cross a dirt road and pass by a large house with a vertical watermill wheel.

The cobbled path ascends up to 400 m and meets a road at the level of the chapel of the Stavros (Holy Cross). From the chapel we descend the dirt road and meet an asphalt road, which we leave immediately to enter a narrow alley that soon becomes a cobbled path.

We cross the Kakoskali stream with a concrete bridge and go up the forested slopes. After a series of small maneuvers, the cobbled path becomes a earth trail and then an alley. We reach a dirt road. We run a bit to the left, pass by the very small chapel of Agia Marina and climb up a very wide cobbled path, which leads to the main road of Vyzitsa, next to the church of Zoodochos Pigi.

The route is marked with red signs, metal poles with yellow signs and several direction signs.
