A walk that avoids the blocking boulders in the Skoutouljaris Gorge
A fairly challenging 14.5 km (9 miles) circular hike that starts at Masari village and navigates the hill top path at the start of the Skoutouljaris Gorge. This path provides a method to avoid the three large boulders that are wedged across the gorge, blocking the way up river for those who cannot overcome this difficult obstacle. The return route passes two lakes, then takes tracks down to the Makaris river, returning to the start along the road.

A 10 mile walk full of insight and wonder
This walk, although extensive, has so much to discover. The 12th century chapel of Moni Kymmeri nestled high in the hills, the awe-inspiring Skoutoularis Gorge and the iconic Italian Bridge. There are citrus orchards to walk through, the ever abundant olive groves, pine forests and panoramic views. This really is a day of adventure.

A circular walk taking in the Butterfly River at Salakos
The Butterfly River cascades down through the wooded valley to the east of the village of Salakos. The well trod path that follows this river climbs to the head of the stream where the area of the Nymph springs makes a fitting finale of this walk. Plenty of views, plenty of shady lush vegetation and, of course plenty of butterflies.

A walk through the mountains that form the backdrop to Lindos
Although this trail is more challenging than many of the walks on this website, the reward is the amazing views. From the highest point of the path, broad vistas can be seen taking in the whole of Navarone Bay from Pefkos to Lindos. The trail then leads through the valley between the Marmari and Zara mountains where the boulders are larger than the trees. The route leads down to the beach before returning to Lindos taking in a cliff chapel along the way, set in a cave in the hills above Vlicha Beach.

A walk to the chapel on the summit of the mountain to the immediate north east of Masari
This is not a clamber up the sides of a scrub and rocky mountain, but follows a track that curves around the mountain which looms behind Masari village. At the summit is a small chapel where a deserved rest can be taken before returning along the same route. Do not be taken in that this is easy. With little in the way of shade, this is a tough climb in the heat. Take plenty of water and do not attempt in the heat of summer.
