Fountain of Aga
Construction // Spring
Description
About 800 meters from the point where Paths 1 and 4 diverge near the church of the Holy Apostles (Agii Apostoli), a narrow but smooth, passable path will lead us to the castle/monastery of Saint George the Refuge (Agios Georgios Katefio), which is wedged into the rocks, and was built in 1754. From Saint George, Path 4 continues to Episkopi, although there is practically no path. Descend to the northeast through the fields, keeping the northern slopes of the mountain of the Prophet Elias (Profitis Ilias) on your right. A few meters after Saint George's, we see a walled masonry construction known as the fountain of Aga on our right. It was built during the Turkish occupation and includes a canal.
