The path starts from Kamari, passes through the traditional village of Keramidi and ends at Veneto. These three settlements are the most remote places among all the inhabited areas of Northern Pelion. However, they are of great interest concerning their natural beauty and architectural value. Their special geographical aspect, their well-preserved buildings and the unique relief make them perfect places for relaxation but also exploration. The first part of LPT crosses landscapes of different morphology and features, where the visitor can find grasslands, forests, wet meadows and rocky gaps.

The hiker follows the obvious direction, going from north to south Pelion, facing the uphill side of the trail. Similar to all the 11 parts of LPT, this section requires high fitness level and experience with long-distance hiking. Nevertheless, beginner hikers can stay overnight at the traditional guesthouses of Keramidi and shorten the duration of the hike.

Marking-Warnings

North Pelion topoguide
Half of the route follows paths, most of them paved cobbled paths or well-trodden earth paths. On the National Trail O2 route we will find some marks and signposts with the O2 logo, while in places we will find quite dense red signs from an old marking effort.
The length of the route is 16.5 km and can be done in 7-8 hours.
