A fairly easy walk to navigate even without a navigation app to give a flavour of rural Rhodes
Using well defined tracks and roads this walk allows even the causal explorer to see something of the wilder side of rural Rhodes. The route follows the coastline and being at some 150m provides great coastal views. The end of this walk is at Masari village, or alternatively one can terminate the walk at Haraki, reducing the distance by 3km.

A simple 4.5 mile walk to the village of Lardos
This is such a simple walk and one to introduce any newcomer visiting Pefkos to something more of the nature of the island and its people. Lardos is a working village located a mile or so inland with a busy square that is a hubbub of activity. Although the direct route to the village is to follow the road, this alternative route passes by the Stafilia mountain where the ruins of Lardos castle can be seen looking out across the valley.
