At charming Kaminaki, where the pebbly seafront is lined with tavernas, go L (NNE) to the end of the beach. Here a clear path leads along the rocky coast in the company of giant agave plants. Private secluded villas perched in scenic spots are passed. It’s not far to Nissaki bay, which is popular with the groups at the only big hotel on this stretch of coast. Continue past the swimming pool to the bar then go up and along the front of the hotel building to where the lovely path resumes, as does peace and quiet. Shaded by olive trees and flanked by bleached rocks, the way soon climbs steeply albeit briefly on steps circling private property. The glittering turquoise sea is constantly seen through the trees. Further along gradual descent concludes at lovely Agni beach. Here you walk through the premises of friendly Nikolas Taverna.

On the way to Agni beach

Once the jetty and other eateries have been passed you pick up the path once more, signed for Gialiskari beach. This climbs a little through holm oak wood on another lovely stretch leading to quiet Gialiskari beach, an expanse of pebbles in a secluded cove where yachts moor. Here fork left, following signs for Kalami. A wall of prickly pear shrubs and a vegetable plot are passed and it’s up to join a concreted lane through olive groves. At a tarmac road, continue straight ahead in descent for the short distance separating you from the landmark villa the White House.
