Day trip to Trikeri Island

Find your favorite place for swimming: The waters are crystal clear due to the currents at the mouth of Pagassitikos. The search for the desired beach is a matter of personal preference. A little shaped beach is accessible a few metres from our premises (Manos Beach). Furthermore, there is the possibility to swim at the village exit towards the parking space (Tigani Beach). For the adventurous, the beach of Agia Vaso is accessible by a dirt road (for those with the appropriate vehicle or by driving with extreme caution) or using a boat (1 nautical mile from the port of Agia Kyriaki). This secluded beach overlooks the channel Tissaiou and Evia. and it has a spring of drinking water. In Alogoporos there is an organised beach with deck chairs from the nearby canteen and tavern.

Walking routes: The road connection to Volos became feasible only in 1984. Until then the link to Volos was through Agia Kyriaki with boats. Before the advent of cars the local paths were used for internal communication between the various villages and settlements.

Agia Kyriaki – Trikeri: A traditional cobbled path (~1.5 km) which has been preserved and maintained in relatively good condition. The route takes about 30 minutes. Following the road in front of the guesthouse and passing in front of the old elementary school leads you to a steep path. The visitor is compensated by the magnificent view. The path has some difficulty. It is preferable to be walked late afternoon or early morning to avoid exposure to the summer sun.

• Milos – Lighthouse: This coastal route takes about 20 minutes and leads to the lighthouse.
• Trikeri – Kottes: This route takes about 1 hour. It starts just under the public parking at Trikeri. The traditional path is mostly preserved. At the final part , there is an old traditional water spring. The Kottes settlement has its own beauty and a number of fish taverns.
• Trikeri – Alogoporos It is a circular route of about 9 km with a lot of bush in some parts of it. It is a demanding trail for the experienced and properly equiped travellers.
