The trail starts from the village of Panagia and meanders uphill toward the mountain. During the hike, you will learn about nature, history and the myths and traditions of Iraklia. You will come across goats that graze freely in the mountains, and maybe even birds of prey.

Then you will reach the Cave of Agios Ioannis and the famous Cave of the Cyclops from Homer's Odyssey, where there will be a short break before the main part of the tour. You will then put on your gear and enter the cave.
