Facing in the direction of Hlomos take the small road off to the right passing an advertising board and a wooden cross on the left.
Follow this road along and down to eventually go alongside the Messongi river.
On reaching a right hand bend just before a bridge over the river go straight on along a track. Follow this main track along and around to the left following a chain link fence uphill, ignoring all turnings off, until you come to a main junction.
Here carry on up a tarmac road through the olive trees to reach the village of Chlomatiana and the church.
From here there are fine views down to Messongi and the coast.
Retrace your steps back down the tarmac road to the main junction and here bear right. This quiet road takes you back down to the Moraitika/ Hlomos road at the start.
