If you have the time, feel free to explore the village of Vroutsi as you'll find a supermarket and a restaurant to rest.

The path to Ancient Arkesini starts from a village called Vroutsi, located in the southern part of the island.

The start of the path is marked with a red sign followed by the number 3. Look for the same sign during the run to stay on track.

The first part of the path is on a well-maintained paved road. There is a slight decline and it's easy to run.

The path goes down all the way to the base of the Church of St. John.
Leaving behind the beautiful church you'll have a clear line of view to the ancient Acropolis of Arkesini.

It's time to start descending. You'll find yourself on a dirt path with pebbles.
You've reached the acropolis. Follow the narrow stairs all the way up. Take extra care when climbing if it's windy as it can get you off balance easily.
