The office of outdoor activities and sports tourism Salonica View organizes hiking on the nature trail Kionia - Profitis Elias.
A few words about the path: (Linear)
The start of route starts from the excursion area of Kionia. It follows a path that includes a forest and offers excellent views of the Mesaoria plain. Access can be made from the road of Macheira Monastery that leads to Kionia or from Vavatsinia to Macheira. The path ends at the Monastery of Profitis Ilias. It is part of the European path E4.
Points of interest:
This monastery of Profitis Ilias is built in the mountains of Macheiras, about 6 kilometers southwest of the village of Lythrodontas, in a beautiful pine forest. The monastery is now abandoned but is in excellent condition. The cells that once housed the monks, built to the south of the Temple, simply exist. The feelings caused by the absolute silence in the space are strange.
