A GUIDE TO SOME WALKS OF
VARYING DEGREES OF DIFFICULTY
Walk 3
|
| WALK 1 |
Agios Georgios circular
walk
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 WARNING There is a stream crossing involving steps cut
in the banks. (2008). |
| WALK 1A |
Agios Georgios circular
walk
Countryside and small roads
Circular, walk at northern
end of resort using unsurfaced tracks and footpaths but includes a couple of
short hills.....Time needed: From 1 to 1 and a half hours |
| WALK 2 |
Agios Georgios to Fisherman's
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.... to
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 |
To 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 |
To Arillas and San
Stefanos
Beach and small roads with 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. |
| WALK 6 |
Pagi Village (hard way)
Olive Groves and countryside
Circular walk involving a very
steep climb. Passes through some little known countryside and quiet olive
groves with lovely views from higher ground.
Time needed 2 hours |
| WALK 7 |
To Afionas
Village
"There and back" walk using only beach and surfaced
roads to this lovely old village with its superb
views of Agios Georgios and the north-west coastal islands. (Involves a
steep hill)
Time needed : 30 mins to 1 hour (depends on which end of
Agios Georgios you start). |

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! |
