A 7 mile walk from Malona through the river valley to a waterfall
Although this waterfall is dry for many months of the year, the expedition is worth the effort to witness the calcification of the surrounding rocks and trees. This walk also passes the monastery of Moni Eleomonitria and provides some amazing scenery through the river valley

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.

A 5 mile walk using tracks and roads to visit the village of Pylona
Pylona is a typical Greek village sitting in the hills behind the Mamari mountains. Unspoilt by tourism, this offers an insight into the quiet and tranquil way of life that is associated with the island. The village has a magnificent church and there are some dramatic views of the coastline as one descends back down to Kalathos

A climb from Haraki beach to Feraklos Castle
Feraklos castle stands guard above the village of Haraki. The castle is in ruins but is extensive in size. It is a rough scramble to get into the castle walls but worth the effort in order to admire this site which is the size of a small village. There is an information board in Heraki that details the history and archaeology of the area.
