APPEARANCE

Neriton

Then, only 50 metres from the pass the mountain in front of us seemed to have developed a deformity. No wait, it wasn't a deformity, it was the top of another mountain sticking out, the Stavrota!

Neriton appearing!

Of course, Odysseus would have recognised Neriton immediately. Next, we had to cross the pass to check on the other side of the mountain. Was it possible to get a view of the harbour of Phorkys and the cave of the Naïads?

Odysseus would have walked up to Poros on December 16th, an incredible 3,250 years ago. On December 13th, 2016 a friend and I followed in his footsteps and ascended the mountain. The walk from Cape Lougi to the mountain pass took us about 60 minutes.

While climbing up to the pass one thing was conspicuously absent, a view of Mount Stavrota, the highest mountain of Lefkada, which was a bit puzzling but mainly problematic for my theory. Was I wrong in my assumptions, did another mountain block the view?
