The Canyon of Pervolakia or Monastery of Kapsas
We have already reported previously on the significance of the biodiversity of this landscape. There are lots of rare endemic species and geological structures that make up a wild and imposing canyon.
Hiking can easily be completed without any special problems, except for very few spots where the hiker needs to be very careful. The length of the canyon is about 4 kilometres and its entrance is in the south of Pervolakia village while its exit lies at the beach of the monastery of Kapsas.

In a desolate, wild and dry landscape this very beautiful gorge is shaped. It starts by Kapsa monastery and after 3,5 kms ends to the isolated, traditional settlement Pervolakia. The route is relatively easy to be accessed, though there are some bluff grades that need some more attention when you descend. Though there are signs you have to be careful, when you walk on the bed of the gorge.

Refreshing swimming at pebbled beach of Kapsa can go together with your hiking in the gorge. Kapsa gorge in Makrigialos
Agios Athanassios (St. Athanassius) (Lithines)

Agioi Apostoloi (Holy Apostles) (Lithines)
Built in 1415, this is a single-space arch-covered church with numerous murals.
Its depictions of the Christological cycle (particularly elaborate, depicting a total of 17 scenes) and the Second Coming are most impressive.
