01 Vitina to Elati

Water, stone fountains and the forest of Elati.

This is section 4 of the Menalon Trail. Described from Elati, the route drops to the bed of the Mylaontas, where it meets the riverside path.

From there it follows a well-marked trail, partly cobbled and partly a simple path, with waymarks all along.

02 The route

Springs and a fountain.

The trail passes the large water intake at the Pyrgaki springs, which supplies Vitina, and then the stone fountain of Makrinos.

It then follows 970 m of dirt road to the place called Ellinika, below the hill where the acropolis of ancient Methydrion stood.

The photographs here are from the walk between Elati and Vitina. See also the whole Menalon Trail.
