Local Walks
Walk to San Stefanos harbour
( 1.75km approx 45 minutes each way )
The best time of day for this reasonably short walk is in the evening just as the sun is going down. San Stefanos has some quiet spectacular sunsets, it is a joy to watch a wealth of colour light up the sky and the surrounding landscape.
From the main street turn right at the T junction just past the Barras Appts, passing the Asteria on your right and the Little Prince taverna on your left and continue walking towards the beach.
The road bears round to the left as you pass San Stefano Travel, keep the beach to your right and continue to walk along the road, past the Nafsika hotel and the Taverna O Manthos.

You will soon see a small harbour on your right, this is a great place to pause, take a photo and just admire the view, across the beach and village.
Continue walking towards the 18th Century Chapel of Stefano, bear right up a slight hill the road now meanders towards the harbour with the final stage a fairly steep hill going down. Remember you will have to climb back up this hill on the way back! There are many opportunities to stop and take photos on the way.
The harbour houses a number of local fishing and pleasure boats and is the starting point for some of the local boat trips to Ericousa and Paleokastritsa. Therefore it is worthwhile getting your bearings early.
There are a variety of hotels and tavernas to choose from on the way back, some of which, we have reviewed in the " Eating Out " section. If the sun is still setting then the Manthos or Sundowner are great places to sit outside and watch the sun disappear from the horizon.
