Walks etc

[lilly]

We went on some lovely walks during our visit to SS.
We started the walk to Avliotes past the tennis courts then through the olive groves[quite a steep climb] then at the crossroads just past the football pitch we took the road to Avliotes, you just have to be mindful on the bends and take a little care. Once there we had a walk around the village, visited the church then enjoyed a lovely lunch at Ilias restaurant which overlooked a beautiful valley.
We also walked to Agios Georgios North via Arillis then through Afionas stopping at Dionysos restaurant overlooking the bay before walking down to Agios Georgios. It was a fairly long walk mostly up a steep hill on the way there but we stopped often for drinks or to admire the wonderful views.
We walked over the headland to Arillis a few times and also through the olive groves to cool off.
We also walked to the new harbour on a very windy day and it was very sheltered there so we stayed for a while watching the fishermen go about their daily business.
We hired a quad bike again and visited Paleokastrica stopping for lunch then onto a beach where we relaxed for a while. Then some off road through the olive groves with sterling moss at the helm.
There are some lovely walks in and around SS and the views are spectacular.

Janet, it was a very hot day when we walked to A.G but once past Arillis when making your way up the Hill there was a good amount of shade. We stopped whenever we wanted to[no rush] and took plenty of water with us. We also stopped at a couple of taverna's on the way for drinks. Obviously the walk back was downhill so much easier. A good idea would be to plan in advance and look for a day when there is a good breeze. The views were truly amazing and we took some brilliant photo's.

I am thinking of hiring a car, and walking to it, driving the route, and parking it,
then walking back to the Apartment - my question to you Lilly, is will this qualify as a San Stefanos Walk?
LOL

[lilly]

Tony, it will most definetly qualify as a walk, remember it is the way that you walk and not the quantity. 

[tonyco1]

I did actually did quite a lot of walking this year, not too much of a problem!!

[don]

Yes Tony......... To the bar and back, to the Karaoke mike and back, bar and back recurring doesn't really count as a walk!
