Anul ăsta o să încerc și eu cei 6,5 km de la Volissos, că drumul până la Agia Markella e frumos și liniștit. Am alergat o dată porțiunea scurtă cu băiatul meu mai mare, acum doi ani, și mi-a plăcut tare mult. Cine știe, poate ne vedem la start pe 30 iulie.

Mă bucur că se face iarăși cursa asta. Anul trecut am mers cu soțul până la Agia Markella pe jos, pe același drum, și mi s-a părut foarte liniștit, exact cum zice Vasile. Poate încerc și eu cei 1,5 km, că 6,5 mi se pare cam mult pentru genunchii mei.

Хорошая задумка, дорога от Волиссоса до Агиа Маркеллы действительно тихая. Я в прошлом году пешком прошёл те же 6,5 км, когда был на Хиосе у дочери, колени потом два дня ныли. Может, в 2026-м кто из наших тоже поедет, интересно, как там с регистрацией для иностранцев.

Да, дорога там правда спокойная, почти без машин. Я в прошлом году тоже ходила пешком эти 6,5 км от Волиссоса, только в обратную сторону, и колени потом неделю болели. А насчёт регистрации для иностранцев в объявлении ничего не написано, может, в самой заявке на сайте СЕГАС уточнишь?
