This Trail extends on the northern slopes of eastern Lepetymnos. It starts from the traditional village of Sykamia and it moves west, through olive groves crossed by cool streams with laurel bushes and sycamore trees. First stop is the Lepetymnos village, a new settlement built around the church in order to house the people of the Chalikas village when the landslides started, destroying all buildings in their path. Passing through the little streets of the deserted Chalika village, the Trail meets the open sanctuary of Saint Anna a little higher up. Ascending through the stunning sycamore forest in the steep ravine it comes across the Ottoman fountain of Krita. Returning through the same ravine the path branches off to the east leading to Sykamia and the end of the circle.
