Circular hiking route 11,5 kms. An amazing route that follows unknown paths in the beautiful pine forest of Sithonia, protected by the Natura 2000 network, reaching the traditional settlement of Parthenonas in Chalkidiki!
Our hiking starts from the picturesque village of Neos Marmaras, which is built amphitheatrically on three hills of Itamos! In the beginning, we are moving for 10-15 minutes on a beautiful forest road until we enter a narrow path, where we will come across small streams!Our first stop is an old watermill, which stopped functioning around 1960! From this point we ascend about 2.5 km. In the beginning, we move through low dense vegetation with oaks, but while we are slowly gaining height, we come across majestic pines!
After admiring the breathtaking view of Kelifos island known also as the “turtle”, we will reach the traditional settlement of Parthenonas, where we will relax while enjoying the panoramic view of Toroneos gulf! Our descent to the village of Neos Marmaras follows a different hiking route which passes through olive trees until it reaches again the heart of the pine forest in Halkidiki.
