For 2024, the 200th anniversary of the Lafonisi massacre, we have designed 3 routes with various reference points, dedicated to the historical events of Easter 1824.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

1. ROAD RACE 18,4 Km<\/em><\/strong> (Running with timing)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

RACE ROUTE:<\/strong> KERAMOTI \u2013 LIVADIA \u2013 STOMIO \u2013 CHRYSOSKALITISA \u2013 LAFONISI<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reference point: The Elf Cave<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the coastal area of \u200b\u200bKeramoti, among rocks, gravels and bushes, there is the cave known as \"Xoticospilio\" (\u201cThe Elf Cave\u201d). Its entrance looks like an open funnel inwards, while its walls are rocks that in many places they look as if they were chiseled. The central entrance is about 2 meters wide and leads to the main area where clean water drips without creating stalagmites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In earlier years, during the Venetian and Turkish occupations, residents of the area often hid here and were saved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ROUTE OF THE RACE<\/strong>: CHRYSOSKALITISSA - LAFONISSI<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reference Point: Chrysoskalitissa Monastery<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The monastery is built in the form of a fortress, perched on a 35 meter rock with an unlimited view of the sea. In the 1637 census, it is mentioned as Panagia Gounoskalitissa by the priest of the village of Kuneni (today's Vathi). The exact date of the foundation of the monastery is not known, but it is assumed that it is placed in the years of the late Venetian rule, around 1500.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ROUTE<\/strong>: LAFONISI MONUMENT \u2013 LAFONISI ISLAND (TOURKAULAKO) \u2013 LAFONISI MONUMENT<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reference Point: Tourkaulakos - Lafonisiou Island<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Lafonisi, on Sunday 24 April 24 1824, the day of Easter, the Turkish troops arrived. On the island there were 40 warriors and 600-850 women and children predominately from the Ennia Xoria (\u201cNine Villages\u201d), but also from Selino.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All of them were waiting for a ship to be saved. The Turks found the shallow passage probably guided by the footprints left on the sand by the Christians who passed through Lafonisi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
