Paschaligo is short walk from the centre of Neapoli and is a favourite place for the many locals and visitors. It is easy to find
and there are pointers nailed to the electric poles and some walls - easy to follow as they are coloured red and blue twith an
arrow hat begin from the centre of town. It’s a small grove of mixed trees including Oak, Pine, Olive, Lemon, flowers and
shrubs several of which are endemic to the region.
It’s about 1.5 km southwest of Neapolis town, situated on the slopes of Mount Kavalaras. It was named after the Venetian
feudal lord Fillipo Pasqualigo, who built a house here and there some of the remains still visible today. He constructed
irrigation ditches with water coming from the local spring of Vigli. The locals later used these ditches to provide water to the
town and also built several windmills along these ditches but sadly these are now just ruins. It’s a great place to enjoy a stroll
and a picnic and many the streams have turned into a small Oasis of calm and peace. It is an area of outstanding beauty in the
dry region of Mirabello and due to the abundance of water here it also offers a great deal of flora and fauna for you to see.
