Rethimno

We pass through Ano Varsamonero (1) and follow a southerly direction for 500 m, until the village of Monopari (2). From the village square, we follow a dirt road in an easterly direction for approximately 600 m, and then take the northern branch of the road, ignoring any secondary ones. After about 900 m of walking, we come to a group of houses (3).

This section of the route passes through a landscape with picturesque views; to Psiloritis towards the east, and to Lefka Ori towards the west.

After 400 m we reach an asphalt road (4).

At the southern exit (1) of Agios Konstantinos, on the eastern side of the asphalt road, a downhill dirt road begins, which after passing along the northern slope of a smooth hill, follows the western bank of a ravine.

Approximately 700 m after Agios Konstantinos, at a spot where a brick building can be seen on our right, we cross the ravine (2) and immediately after come to a crossroads; we take the left (northern) branch and after about 250 m, we reach a small bridge over a ravine with plane trees.

Right behind the Mountain Shelter of E.O.S. Rethymnou, one can see the characteristic oak tree named Toumbotos Prinos, on the left side of which begins a path (1) that goes up to the mountain top.
