This fertile region, brimming with **sycamore trees, olive groves, citrus orchards, and a variety of aromatic herbs, is home to two ancient wonders**. Here lie two colossal statues that have rested peacefully for thousands of years. The first, the **Kouros of Farangi**, is a majestic 5.5-meter (18-foot) statue dating back to the early **6th century BC.** Nearby, shaded by a rural garden, rests the **Kouros of Flerio**—a 6-meter (19.6-foot) figure, believed to have been carved around **570 BC.** We then set off westward, embarking on a hike to another “must-see” marvel: **the imposing ruins of the Jesuit Palace**. This 17th-century structure, nestled between the villages of Melanes and Potamia, stands as a testament to unique architecture and history, inviting us to explore its deserted grandeur. Our journey continues as we make our way to the two **villages of Potamia**. Winding through their charming alleys, we are greeted by a **tropical-like landscape**, with a serene creek and lush orchards guiding our path. This picturesque setting leads us to **Koko's Tower**—a fascinating **17th-century Venetian structure** hidden amidst verdant greenery, with a mysterious, perhaps even eerie, story woven into its walls. As our hike unfolds, we meander through **countless olive groves**, savoring the tranquility of the landscape, before finally returning to our starting point, completing a day rich in history, beauty, adventure and an **optional** **delicious traditional lunch at a nearby picturesque village**! --- What's included --------------- - "We provide" - - Local certified guide - Hotel pick up/ drop off - Trekking poles - Backpack - Snack - Optional full-course lunch at the village - First aid kit --- What's not provided ------------------- - "You should bring" - - Comfortable clothes and shoes - Hat/buffer - Sunscreen lotion - Water bottle (we encourage our guests to bring reusable and not single-use plastic water bottles!)
