p. 103 (Walk 12)
The author reports that the paths marked on the Anavasi map, leading N from the temple, and the gate behind the temple, are now closed (chains, padlocks, high fences and security cameras). After touring the temple site do not return to the double metal gate to continue the walk as stated at the end of the 1st para of p.103. Instead the third para [‘Go through the double metal gate…] should read:
‘Return to the main entrance of the Demeter’s Temple site, and turn R to go along the lane you came down earlier. Go uphill until you see an opening R to a way marked footpath 7 to Ano Sangri.
The monopati emerges…’
The map on p 101 should omit the section N of the temple and retrace the route to the dotted path R off the road.
The Temple site is closed on Tuesdays and otherwise – at least late spring to end September – open 08:30–15:30 with last admission at 15:10.
p.149, 2nd para (Walk 21)
They’ve cut off a kink here, so last 3 lines should now read: ‘….go sharp R, then cross to steps with green wooden railings….’. The route map is unaffected.
p.163 (Walk 23)
The link to Keramoti (shown as a blue route line on the map) has been opened. It was a long battle to get this final link in the Strada cleared, and the work was eventually done by volunteers a few days before this book was published. Over the year and more of lockdown and low hiker traffic, the path has become quite overgrown but not impassable.
Directions for following this link route are as follows (from the beginning of the 2nd para p.163):
‘Opposite is a smart new sign indicating the entrance to the path to Keramoti, but you have to scramble up a crumbling bank and negotiate a wire fence to access it. (For an easier route, you can continue to the end of the dirt track to the main road, turn L walk 1.5km to rejoin the Strada at Stavros, but you miss the charming tiny village of Keramoti). It’s bordered by dense maquis and high fields, then crosses R a small deep valley. Follow the valley side above vine terraces and drop to a dirt road. Turn R to pass buildings, where there's with a water source, and go L at the fork, past a chapel. This leads along the valley side opposite the tiny village of Keramoti. Descend until a clear, narrow monopati goes down L, follow it to a ruined building and turn R. Turn L to cross the stream and go up via blue railings at the start of Keramoti village.
