NEOHORI, RIGLIA & AGHIOS NIKOLAS

TUESDAY 25TH SEPTEMBER NEOHORI AND RIGLIA

Another large turn out forced us to change our walk again this week. There were 32 people and JJ the dog who assembled outside the Lefktron Hotel Stoupa for this weeks Mani walk. So after a quick phone call to arrange lunch, we began our climb from Stoupa through the olive groves to Neohori. It was a very hot day with no cooling breeze, so there were plenty of rest stops on the way up. Including a chapel which was still decorated up from a wedding the previous Sunday. A quick refreshment stop out side the kafenion in Neohori before we continued our climb to the little chapel under Pyrgos. A longer rest to admire the view and then it was all down hill from there heading for the village of Rigli. Another stop for drinks at another kafenion (poor lady was doing her ironing when 32 thirsty walkers arrived). Then we had a gentle stroll down to Aghios Nikolas and lunch at Nostimos. After lunch the final trek back to Stoupa via the coastal path.
