The route starts from Niaimeros. Passing through the park of the mainland and the dense forest, we continue entering the network of paths that our fellow citizen Costas Bellas with personal effort and daily care constructed in the mountain range of Aelias. A first stop - breath takes place in the characteristic Hellenotope. So far the degree of difficulty is quite low - also suitable for small hikers, children who together with their parents can get a little taste of hiking! From there we continue our journey circling the hill of Aelias at its base. We reach the famous Pigeons and the old climbing field of the area. We go up approaching the small church - pilgrimage of St. Constantine and continue until
the top and the church of Aelias. A little further down we find the EOS offices Kozani. We descend, re-entering the paths of Costas Bellas. We end up in Niaimeros again.
On the whole, the route is characterized by gentle, without much difficulty. In total we will make a journey of about two and a half hours covering almost 5 kilometers.
