A trip through time and history… Our path starts in the small village of Margarites well-known for its history of ceramics.
We follow the path along the valley to the tiny church of Agia Paraskevi decorated with old frescoes and arches. Over the ridge, we follow the path down to the extensive archaeological site of Ancient Eleftherna. It used to be a very important city during the Hellenistic and Roman periods, and the many ancient ruins can still be admired today. We follow the track down to the well-preserved Hellenistic stone bridge. In the shade of huge plane trees and oaks the old, cobbled footpath takes us on to Lagka neighbourhood. The old village buildings display traditional architecture and many secrets of local, village life. From here the old path, lined with ancient carob trees, leads us back to Margarites, where we find out more about the ancient pottery techniques by following a hands-on demonstration by one of the local potters!
