The route from Prionia to the Old monastery of Agios Dionisios goes parallelly to Enipeas stream which we will pass over via several nice wooden bridges. On the way we will explore the waterfall of Enipeas with its gorgeous natural pool and we will enjoy the walk at the black pine tree forest.

We will finish our tour at the Mills of Litochoro location, just outside Litochoro, at 300 m. The hike takes about 5 to 6 hours to complete and is classed as of moderate difficulty. Optionally, we can start from the Monastery of Saint Dionisos for less walking (one and a half hour less walk).
