Gyrillithkia

The Gyrillithkia Trail is a lively circular walk near Odou that mixes river scenery, native vegetation, and a route shape that gives the trail its name. Starting near the Vasilopotamos River, it begins with a wooden bridge crossing and then climbs through a landscape of pines, wild vegetation, and traditional xerolithies built to protect the path. The trail’s frequent changes of direction create a more playful rhythm than a straightforward village loop. It is a great option if you want a moderately active countryside walk with local character and a little more movement in the terrain.

One of the appealing details here is the sense of traditional landscape management, especially the stonework and water-related features. The route also includes a drinking-water fountain about halfway up, which adds a practical rest point to the climb.

At over six kilometres, this feels more substantial than a casual local stroll. It should especially suit hikers who enjoy circular routes with a mix of woodland, river setting, and changing direction.
