Guide
Where should you start?
The clearest route is to enter the valley from the Sille Dam side and walk along the stream towards the bazaar. The Aya Eleni Church sits right beside the bazaar; the rock churches and the Small Church are on the slopes, while Gevale Castle asks for a half-day of its own.
