Description of the route
We follow the main road of Kastelli, which crosses it from west to east and we begin to go up the hills east of the valley of Kastelli. After 3 km of an uphill asphalt road on the slopes of the hills, with a wonderful view of the west, we reach Xidas, a village built on the slope below the top, where the ruins of Ancient Lyttos are found. From Xidas we continue following the asphalt road and after 4 km we arrive at Kastamonitsa, the western foothill of Mount Dikti.
