Beach Walks

We have a number of very beautiful local beaches. The nearest ones are a 35 to 50 minute walk down approximately 400 metres of beautiful mountainside, taking a mixture of dirt tracks, roads and steep Kalderimi (ancient stone mule-tracks). We provide printed guides, and Centre Volunteers can often show the way.

For reasonably fit people, or for people who want to get fit quite quickly, these beautiful walks are often a highlight of their stay. It is not advisable to try these walks if you have any leg or foot injuries, or walking-related disabilities. Please take a water-bottle and wear suitable footwear. (The Pilion region has some areas of rugged terrain, and we ask Visitors with physical conditions and disabilities to take this into consideration.)

We are sometimes able to offer a lift to and from Plaka Beach in the Centre van, and for this we ask for 1 Euro (70p approx each way)

For people wanting to take a taxi to any of the beaches this is best booked early in the day, as the local drivers can get booked up. We can help arrange this, or give you phone- numbers so you can organise this yourself. Obviously sharing the ride between four (or sometimes five!) people can cut costs. Rates vary between high and low season.
