From Faliraki sand to two smaller coves

Why go

Begin at Faliraki Beach, whose long sandy shore gives room for a proper beach stop. The route then heads south via the harbour and rising coastal trail to Ladiko Beach, a smaller cove that changes the scale of the outing. A shorter final leg continues around the headland to Anthony Quinn Bay, where rock replaces much of the open sand. This sequence suits capable walkers who want to compare three nearby shore settings. The Faliraki–Ladiko section is the demanding part: allow about 150 minutes for that coastal hike, expect uneven ground, carry water and shorten beach stays if heat or walking time requires it.

Useful to know

• Allow about 150 minutes for the Faliraki–Ladiko coastal hike via the harbour and rising trail.
• Expect uneven ground; carry water and check current trail and sea conditions.
