HALKIDIKI: SYKIA HIKING
WITH VIEW OF MT ATHOS
Circular route: 10 kms
An amazing route at the southest part of Sithonia with landscape diversity and alternating images that impresses even the most demanding trekking enthusiasts!
In the beginning we move uphill for 2 km starting from a very low altitude at 30 meters. The view of Sykia village is unique revealing to the traveler the most isolated village of Sithonia!
The village was formerly at the beach of St. Ioannis (Paleochora), but due to pirate raids it was transferred into the peninsula to be well protected.
Reaching 180 meters and further up the landscape becomes bucolic! Our trekking route explores unknown trails, passes through small stream and charming meadows. It also gives to the hiker the opportunity to climb small rocks until it reaches a spot with unbelievable view of the Aegean Sea and the magnificent Mt Athos!
Our hike continues its circular route, discovering isolated passages of the southernmost point of Sithonia next to limestone rocks and diversity of vegetation until it ends up in the village of Sykia.
