Steep hike
45-60 min
Sector Psili Riza is located inland, high above the village of Panormos.
From Masouri, take the road leading to Pothia (the main port). Go past Elies village and the big super market ‘Smalios’ on the right. Appr. 50m past the super market, turn left. Go to the end of the road and park in front of the monastery (St. Panteleimon).
If access through the monastery is open, walk to the end of the road inside and up the steps to the right. Go out through the gate and close it behind you; then, follow the trail marked in red paint and cairns. After 30min the uphill trail traverses slightly leftwards and comes to the foot of the massive cliff.
If access through the monastery is closed, start at the parking lot and traverse rightwards around the monastery until you come to the start of the marked trail. Total walking time: 45-55min.
