Path Nine (9)

Path Nine (9) starts by the kindergarten just outside the settlement of Mesagros, on the way to Aphaia. At the beginning it heads north for 200 meters, and then it turns east, making a wide, short Greek letter pi (like three sides of a rectangle), returning to the public road about 500 meters east of its starting point. From there, it moves south and then east into the pine forest to reach the temple of Aphaia (an easy 2.5 kilometer walk, about 55 minutes). This is the point where the path descends to the ravine of Mesagros (behind the kindergarten). This point is 2,000 meters (about 50 minutes) from Aphaia (with an altitude difference of 120 meters).
