SAMI TREKKING KEFALONIA

Sami- Agioi Fanentes Monastery - 7 watermills tour

Description:

We start from the square of Sami and we follow a beautiful path through a forest of holy trees, arbutus, oak trees while ascending to the Acropolis ” Kyatis” where the Monastery of Agioi Fanentes was founded in 1265 AD.  We continue our tour in the monastery as well as in the church of Ag. Nikolaos to admire the murals which have been preserved over the centuries. Then, we follow a wooded downhill dirt road with wonderful views of the bay and the valley of Sami and the nearby villages and we arrive at Koulourata village. We take a very beautiful path parallel to a ravine where, depending on the season, a steam might be flowing. There are plentiful landscape changes; old watermills, old stone bridges remnants of an era when the villages were bustling with life. After six km on this magical route, we continue on the road for a while until we reach cave “Drogarati”. Following a gentle dirt road among olive groves we end up in Sami where our adventure ends.
