The distance Kamari – Perissa
The hike from Kamari to Perissa (without detour) stretches for about 5kms.
In practice, the elevation is important since you climb Mount Messavouno and its 365 meters. So this outing is more for climbers.
Detours and small breaks…
First, on the Kamari side, you can discover the beach and then start the hike. Then, halfway through, you will take a break near a church where a source of drinking water flows.
Then, at the top of Mount Messavouno, you will enjoy a visit to the Ancient Thira.
Finally, on the Perissa side, you will walk the beach…
You have a few options:
On the one hand, if you make the detour to Profitis Ilias, you can discover the monastery located on the highest point of the island (566 meters) …
On the other hand, and if the route is enough for you, you can enjoy a return by bus or taxi.
Finally, the bravest, will hit the road to return with their heads full of memories …
