A little before entering Megalo Horio we encounter the beautiful locale of Ai-Thanassi with the chapel of the same name. The village consists of many small picturesque streets and has a great deal of tourist activity. A museum of Folk Art is open there. At the border with Aniada village is Lakkomata area in which there is a monument to the battle of Kaliakouda (28-8-1823). Another worthwhile route for hiking or driving is the one which leads to the refuge of Kaliakouda. On foot from there we can eithe approach the high summit of Kaliakouda (elevation 2.101), Aniada village, or the Pantavrehi area.

Towards Proussos we pass by Gavros (the Megalo Horio settlement) and from there we reach the "River House" (Spiti tou Potamou) where we can see the "Print of the Virgin" (Tipoma Tis Panagias), a hole in the top of the opposite mountain from which, according to tradition, the miraculous icon of the Virgin passed on its way to the Monastery. A little further down is the icon where the "Steps of the Virgin" (Patimata Tis Panagias) are to be found.
