VYROS GORGE

VYROS GORGE 25TH OCTOBER 2011

There were 22 people on today's walk and for the dog lovers JJ was with us. The morning did not start well as we missed the bus in Kardamilli to Malta for our intended walk, you can blame the leader for that one. Instead it was decided to walk down the Vyros Gorge. We left Kardamilli via the old town where Tommy showed us the old town baths. We then climbed up the kalderimi towards Aghios Sophia. Turning off just before reaching the church. We then began our descent towards Vyros gorge. A rest was taken when we arrived at the gorge. We then followed the dried up river bed back to Kardamilli. Taking in the Lakaki monastery on the way. Arriving back in Kardamilli for lunch at Dyscouri Taverna overlooking the harbour. This should have been the last walk of the autumn walk programme but due to demand there will be another walk next week. Meet 09.30 Lefktron Hotel, Stoupa.
Many thanks to Tommy Haliday for providing some of today's pictures.

KAMBOS CIRCULAR

KAMBOS CIRCULAR TUESDAY 11TH OCTOBER 2011 

There were 19 people and JJ the dog on today's walk, which took us from the village of Kambos on a 3 hour circular walk. We left Kambos on the road passing the the church and heading out to the village of Orova. We then took a track which would eventually lead us down to the Ridino gorge, where we took a short break on the bridge over the gorge. Our return route took us via the deserted village of Toubia and an old monastery. Before returning to Kambos where we had lunch at Miranda's taverna.
