Path Four (4)

Path Four (4) is one of the most beautiful routes on the island. It starts at the castle-like convent of the Virgin Mary the Golden Lioness (Panagia Chrysoleontissa), climbs smoothly toward the plateau of Agios Leontios and the old cisterns (souvales), and then heads downhill to the southeast to reach Pachia Rachi. The total route is 6 kilometers (2.5 hours), and relatively easy. This is the point where the path descends from Agios Leontios and meets the road to Pachia Rachi, next to the church of the Presentation of the Virgin Mary (Eisodion tis Theotoku), which is also called Virgin Mary (Panagia) Mesosporitissa.
