A GUIDE TO SOME WALKS OF
VARYING DEGREES OF DIFFICULTY
Walk 3

Countryside and small roads
Fairly level circular
walk using footpaths through pleasant fields, quiet olive groves and mostly
country roads. ....Time needed: From 1 to 1 and a half hours

cut in the banks. (2008). |
| WALK 1A |

using unsurfaced tracks and footpaths but includes a couple of short
hills.....Time needed: From 1 to 1 and a half hours |

Cabin
Olive Groves near sea
Slightly undulating "there and
back" walk using unsurfaced tracks along the edge of the beach and later
through quiet olive groves to Fisherman's Cabin........Time needed: From
1 and a half hours to 2 hours. |
WALK 3
and Variations |
For serious walkers....
Makrades or Angelokastro
Olive groves and wonderful views
(includes a spectacular CLIFF PATH)
..A quite tough "there and back"
walk using unsurfaced tracks. The first part is fairly level through quiet
olive groves, parallel to the sea, but the second half of the outward journey
is a steady uphill walk, rough and steep in places. Please read WARNING before setting off on this walk.
......Time needed at least half a day plus any breaks. (For the longer
Variations allow a full day.) |
| WALK 4 |
Pagi Village
Old village
and real Greek countryside (Our favourite)
Circular walk using both
surfaced roads and unsurfaced tracks to the village of Pagi and returning via
pleasant little used tracks and roads through fields and quiet olive groves.
The first part is a long uphill walk on the main road but this can be
avoided by catching the local morning bus to Pagi. The rest is all either
downhill or level and quite easy underfoot.Time needed: 3 hours to 4 hours
depending on stops. |
| WALK 5 |
Arillas and San Stefanos
Beach and views
A long "there and back" walk using the beach,
surfaced roads and unmade tracks producing excellent views of the sea and
offshore islands.
Time needed : It is suggested you make this a full
day's walk stopping at San Stefanos for lunch. |

climb. Passes through some little known countryside and quiet olive groves.

Note: These walks are suggested by the web
site designer, or visitors, and the notes were written by him. This is a rural
area so be aware that route conditions and circumstances can change. If so find
an alternative but enjoy your day out.
I would recommend to people who enjoy
walking or just wandering that they purchase the excellent Guide by Lance
Chilton available at Theo's Hotel as mentioned on the main Agios Georgios
page.
Comment: Too much rubbish (plastic bags etc) is now
appearing and will spoil these lovely walks. Please do not add to it ! TAKE
your rubbish back to a disposal point! |
