From Vátos to the beach of Myrtitis

Today I hiked 🥾 from Vátos to the beach of Myrtitissa.

The route initially led over paved roads through the nice mountain village 🏡 Vátos and soon the road went over in gravel roads.

As soon as I had reached the hill ⛰️, an impressive panoramic view of the west coast of Corfu offered itself. Through shady olive groves 🫒, the route finally led to the monastery Myrtiótissa ⛪ and on to the same name beach 🏖️. Since it was a windy day, there were wonderful waves 🌊❤️.

At a glance to the monastery, I met Pappa Daniel 🙏, who made a guided tour through the monastery.

The way back to Vátos ran up along the road, later on a footpath through the olive groves 🫒.

The circular route is about 7 km long, takes about 1-2 hours and overcomes 200 altitude.

When we met after the hike for a short picnic at the truck 🚛, an olive farmer in his rusty car 🚙 held next to us. He said that he had already seen us above and handed us a bottle of olive 🫒 oil over: "From me for you and I wish you a good journey," he said and braised away. ❤️❤️❤️
