Start from the dam of Partheni and follow the sign to the archaeological place. You will reach it after ascending 400 m. It is not guarded, as there are only a few hewed stones coming from the sancturary of the Hellenistic period. Continuing to the west, the path becomes steep and you will pass through a land with rush and carob trees. On your right, you can see the coasts of Partheni with the piers and the fishing boats. The trail leads to a stone kiosk in the area Fakoudia, where you can visit the ruins of the battery Farinata. A few meters before the kiosk, there is a south detour (that has a length of 1km) leading to the top of Markelos. Duration without stop: 50’.
