Activity Description

This path hides behind it a shocking story, the story of Iros. Hero was a young girl who dreamed of bringing to life the path her great-grandfather once used to bring lime from the lime kilns high in the forest.

Iro was a mountaineer and had climbed almost all the mountains of Greece. He started looking for the old trail, made plans to resurface it, and organized a team to clear and mark it. Together with the group of volunteers they worked hard to "bring life back" to the path until Hero was "struck" by the evil disease. The trail was completed, but a few days before the first organized ascent, Hero who battled her illness was defeated before turning thirty. But she won the bet by leaving behind a path that thousands of people have so far walked, enjoying the wonderful view towards the Northern Euboean Gulf.
