You step out of Eglouvi’s stone alleys and the world opens into low terraces of lentils and olive groves, the air sharp with thyme and earth. The trail rolls over ancient rocky paths and moon-like sandy cliffs, rising toward the whitewashed Profitis Ilias chapel where the horizon unspools every island of Lefkada like a map. Wind tugs at the olive leaves as if insisting you keep moving; the landscape responds, guiding feet along alonia—old circular threshing floors—and narrow stone-paved lanes.
