Haraki to Kalathos

A 5.5 mile walk along the Rhodes coast from Haraki to Kalathos

Although short, this is a good afternoons walk along the beach around the bay between the two villages of Haraki and Kalathos. Once out of Haraki the beach becomes deserted of people with the barren land dotted with olive trees on one side and the deep blue sea on the other. The beach is shingle and can become heavy going but for some of the distance there is a dirt track just beyond the beach which makes for easier walking. Take it easy, with stops to dip ones feet in the sea and this makes a relaxing introduction to Rhodes walking.

Kalathos to Lardos via the Mycenaean Cemetery

A walk from Kalathos to discover the Mycenaean Cemetery

This walk goes in search of the Mycenaean Cemetery that is located to the north of the village of Pylona. Six tombs were discovered in this area during construction and cultivation of the slopes of the hills above the village. The tombs are over 3000 years old and although all artefacts have been removed to a Archaeology Museum in Rhodes, it is worth the effort to connect back with some ancient history of the island, when the Mycenaean culture thrived. Even today traditions and customs can be dated back to such prehistoric times.
