Walking along paths lined DA Aleppo pines and cypresses, we will reach the bottom of a karst blade in which a monumental centuries-old oak is hidden, after admiring it, we will take a break in the shade of large nuts near the ancient cistern of the Hermitage of St. Anthony, built in the sixteenth century.
