Time needed: 1 and a half hours to 2 hours.

Map of Walk 2 at Agios Georgios

START: : Leave Agios Georgios from the end of the Pagi road near the Alkyon Beach Hotel walking south along the beachside track heading for the end of the visible part of Agios Georgios beach.

Photograph of track along beach

You will pass several houses until eventually the track swings left away from the beach up a short hill (between the the 2 distant buildings on the photograph). To your right here is the entrance to another fish restaurant.

Go straight on, ignoring a wide track joining on your left, and enter a peaceful olive grove of mature trees which are a welcome relief from the heat of the sun on the hottest days.


Cool olive groves


Continue along this undulating track through the olive groves roughly parallel to the sea. You will see several hand painted signs to Fisherman's Cabin encouraging the faint hearted to continue.


Eventually the winding track arrives at the entrance notice board for Fisherman's Cabin, a unique fish restaurant. (Note: If intending to eat there, note that from 2006 the Restaurant may not open until 4 p.m on weekdays (1.30 pm Saturday / Sunday) so check locally BEFORE you set out)

RETURN by retracing your steps being careful to stay parallel to the sea and not to take one of the side tracks which you never noticed on the way there. (These are dead ends and whatever happens you should not get lost, only a bit more tired.)
