After about an hour with the view of Grammos next to us, we make our first short stop at the top of the hill just before the valley of Aoos and the literally unique view of the Tymfi mountain range come to view. After passing through the village of Elefthero, we reach Paleoseli in about 45 minutes. Here, we make a 10 minutes stop at the church of Agia Paraskevi with its characteristic tilt (2 degrees less than the Leaning Tower of Pisa) and we continue for another 20 minutes (approximately) to the village of Pados, where we have our traditional picnic with homemade local dishes. After enjoying the traditional pies with the wonderful view of Tymfi in the background, we take the way back. Arrival at the hotel in the afternoon. In the evening dinner in a tavern of Konitsa.

Here, we leave our bikes and start the hiking part of the day on a magnificent route inside the Aoos ravine. After about 70 minutes of hiking, mostly along the Aoos River, we reach the Stomio Monastery. We will tour the Monastery and visit the small room where the elderly Paisios lived and practiced for 4 years.After resting enjoying the unique view of the location of the monastery, we take the return road, where after an hour, we reach the stone bridge.
