Beginning of Path Five (5)

Two island associations, the Anavasi Greek Cycling and Hiking Association of Aegina and the Association of Active Citizens of Aegina, have cleared and marked 10 paths so you can get to know the rich history of the island, its natural beauty, its culture, and its folk tradition. These paths were recently included in the Paths of Culture project of the Elliniki Etairia Society for the Environment and Cultural Heritage. Nine of the ten paths have been numbered. They have a total length of about 45 kilometers and range from easy to moderate. Path Five (5) explores the eastern part of Aegina. It is a 6 kilometer circular route that takes about 3 hours and involves an elevation change of 180 meters. It starts and ends in the traditional village of Anitseo. On its way, it crosses a small gorge, passes through the traditional settlement of Kilindras, descends toward the beaches of Portes, and then climbs again to reach Anitseo.
