The House in the Sun

Walks

The Apokoronas countryside around our apartment is criss-crossed with quiet country roads, tracks, and paths, which makes it excellent walking country.

The views vary from mountains, rivers, or coastline - sometimes all in one walk.

We have several books which are available for your use, which clearly signpost you to routes varying from short country strolls, interesting coastline walks to challenging hill tracks in the foothills of the White Mountains.

Along the way you will nearly always take in a church, an interesting historical feature and a stunning view.

Below are some of the pictures we have taken whilst out on walks.
