Proposed Direction: Apollonia > Kamares
Starting Point: Apollonia (Main square – Post office) / Kamares (Bus stop at the Parking)
Connected to Trails: 3, 5, 6, 6A, 7A, 10A
Bus Connections: Apollonia, Kamares
This trail is the old donkey route that connected Apollonia to Kamares. Kamares has always been an important port in Sifnos. Walking it downwards is easy and enjoyable, and the trail itself as well as the view of the gorge are very interesting. At about mid-way, you will pass by the church of Panagia Platanissa (or Platanou).
TIPS
On the way from Apollonia to Panagia Platanissa church, you will see at some point on your left hand a huge gate built of square stone blocks. It is the gate of an ancient tower, still standing!
