Emborio-Pyrgos

The trail starts to the SW of Pyrgos and in the beginning is sandwiched between other uses. Soon the field becomes cleaner and the route follows a very pleasant downhill path with a nice view.
The path meanders between two high stone walls and after intersecting with a dirt road, descends more decisively to the upper part of the old Emporio. Enter the medieval village and continue downhill, passing by the cave houses, most of them abandoned nowadays. The path gradually becomes a concrete road. Arriving near the Castle of Emporio, leave the road to go through the cobbled paths of the fortified settlement and end up in the square of the village.
