Agia Kyriaki – Faros Kavoulia

The hiking route Agia Kyriaki – Kavoulia Lighthouse is a pleasant walk, which can be either an autonomous hike to the Kavoulia lighthouse, or part of a long circular path. For example, one could walk down the excellent cobbled path from Trikeri to Agia Kyriaki, offering a continuous view of the sea, and after a refreshing break near the sea, continue to the lighthouse and return to Trikeri by another route.

We start from the small port of Agia Kyriaki, following for a while the asphalt road. We arrive at the traditional shipyard, where we can see the boats in various phases of the repair and maintenance work. This small but buoyant yard reminds us of the great importance of shipping in Trikeri. We cross the facilities and go up a paved path with steps beside some houses.

We reach a small ridge. We descend with a dirt road to the coast and with successive small paths we go around the settlement of Mylos. We pass the tiny beach of Mylos and go out on asphalt. Following this asphalt we reach the picturesque port of Geroplina.

From here a clear dirt path 750m long leads us to the lighthouse, at the Kavoulia Cape. The lighthouse is in excellent condition, framed with a nice enclosure. It is one of the few lighthouses that has a lighthouse keeper.
