This is an ideal place to stop, rest and take in the unparalleled sights. Visitors can stop here and see the village of Keramos to the west and unobstructed horizon to the north. The view from between the two mountains with their successive peaks is sure to inspire awe. A brief break here is all visitors need to savour the view and appreciate the grandeur of nature and its benefits for us, far from the exhausting rhythms and babble of modern-day society.
When taking in the surrounding environment, the hiker’s attention will likely be drawn to an old stone smokestack that stands amidst the bushes nearby. Once part of the old mine installations, it stands in ruin and without any informative signage nearby. Nevertheless, it’s a prominent remnant of Chios’ industrial past and provides a rare insight into how the island’s economy once functioned.
