Today was a free day, and we were ready for a hike, so we headed up to the chapel, Agia Sofia, that was up a nearby hill. It stands for “God’s wisdom.” On the way, we checked out “Old Kardamyli.” 

It was a pretty steep hike up the 800 or so feet of elevation and about 2.25 mile round trip hike, but it was worth it. The trail was well marked with painted rocks, and the views were fantastic. Although the chapel was locked, we were able to peak in the windows and view the frescos and inside decor. We met a few of our tour members on the hike up and back. 

Back in town, we took a walk on the beach. In the late afternoon, our group met for happy hour and buddy introductions.
