The route Nea Kotyli\u2013Palia Kotyli follows \u2014 and reveals \u2014 the old mule track that the inhabitants of Kotyli used before the war to communicate with Nestorio, where they often went down for transactions, shopping and administrative matters.<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Starting from the centre of Nea Kotyli, we pass the “1450” guesthouse and, via a good path, reach the road serving the National Reconciliation Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We enter a long descending course and continue on a long traverse that passes at the base of the sandstone wall of Gkourousia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arriving below the edge of the cliff bearing the eloquent name of Charos (Death), we begin the descent via the old “scala” (stone stairway), which zigzags along the edge of a cutting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We end up on the dirt road of Palia Kotyli and from there at the old village.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
