Could any-one advise if it is possible to walk along the coastal footpath from Kalami to Agios Stephanos East. I would not wish to follow the tarmac road from the top end of Kerasia Beach but am wondering if it is possible to follow the track along the coast to Ag Steph.
Many thanks for any info Regards Denis ![]() |

Yes - at the end of Kaoloura beach near the derelict olive press there is a path which will eventually lead to Kerasia and Ag Steph. Don't forget water & flip flops are not a good idea.

Thanks Sue for reply,
I am OK as far as Kerasia [the far end by the Taverna] Here there is a tarmac road which goes to Ag Steph to the left. I am wondering if it is possible to follow the coast to the right [skirting the Rothschild Estate] and find a track along the coast or along the beach to the village. Regards Denis

I'm not sure there is a path. We were in Ag Steph in June and tried the other way round but couldn't find a path so walked up the road. Not too tedious, took about 15 minutes.
If I'm wrong then I too would like to know where the path is!

Many thanks for input--will give it a go in August and will advise on findings.
Thanks again Denis

Past the taverna and follow the path along the road to Ag Steph. From memory you can follow the Coast but you will need to scramble over the rocks a bit in the next cove and when you see the black outlet pipe (from the olive press) look for the path that heads through the trees and meets the road just before Ag Steph. Confess I have not walked this for a couple of years though.

The walk up the hill from Kerasia along the road is a pleasant and safe walk, about 20 minutes to San Stef, quiet road too passing some lovely villas and the Rothschild Estate. there is a superb coastal path from the other end of San Stef which follows all the bays around the NE peninsula rejoining the road at Avlaki, it has some helpful signposts along the way too. A great walk.
Walked this route in the opposite direction a couple of weeks ago, starting at the Katia apartments in Avlaki, walking all the way to Agni, obviously taking in pitstops at San Stef, Kerasia, Kouloura and Kalami. Great relaxing day.

You could make a day of it walking all the way from Kalami to Kassiopi, taking in stops for drinks and a spot of lunch, allow say 4-5 hours, then get a cab (15 euros) back well in time for a freshen up and dinner at one of the tavernas. Heaven!

Very tempted--but on this occasion will be on a family holiday with three grandkids and they will not allow me so much time off. However a definite for a future occasion.

Take the kiddies with you. My son loved all the scrambling over rocks. At least when you get to your destination they will be tired. Lol

Believe me they much prefer to be swimming, fishing, snorkelling, waterskiing, horseriding and all the other delights Kalami has to offer to induce tiredness but many thanks for the suggestion.
Regards
