This crosses the barren landscape between Sigri
(1) and Eressos. We take the road southwards overlooking
beautiful bays with lovely sandy beaches on the way. Beside us,
naked mountains stretch their slopes covered with impressive
colourful remmants of petrified trees. In the middle of our
course we meet the large valley of Tsihliondas River
(2). The waters of this river come from numerous streams that run
through petrified woodland. They valley has been inhabited since
antiquity and the signs of ancient life can be traced in the
stone ruins of all the neighboring slopes, From the river we turn
toward the crest of the mountain to the east, until we arrive at
the beautiful town of Eressos (3) with is lovely
beach.
