Agios Efraim Walk
Published 14th of January, 2021
Distant Panagia
In a few days there might be snow on those hills in the distance. The weather has certainly taken a turn for the worse today.
Turn Right Here
At the next junction you turn right again. Indeed. most of the turns you make on this walk will be to your right.
Interesting Rocks
I first became aware of this area back in 2019. I was driving past and saw these interesting rocks. I am a sucker for shiny crystals in rocks, so like to check out possible sources. Gypsum is fairly widespread in this area. They aren't the most interesting finds, but nevertheless they can still turn up some beauties. Not this time though.
Winter Vines
It is amazing to think that each of these vines will get pruned by hand.
Interesting Diversion
I mentioned previously about looking on maps to find a route. When I looked this route up, I noticed that there was a small shrine shown at the top of this hill. I decided to take a diversion to go up and see it. This turning will be on your right if you are following the walk.
