Saint Marina spring circular = 3 hours We leave town passing the ancient walls of the Livadi monastery and start to climb up towards the Hamlet of Myli. Taking a rocky trail we then climb up through the pine trees, stopping now and then to catch our breath and admire the views. In a short time we arrive at the spring where we take a break before heading back to town via trail and forest road. The views down to town are spectacular. We may pop into the Sotiros monastery if the monk is at home and in agreement. The church is stunning. We then continue our way down to town via road and trails.
