Lefokastro – Kalamos

The route Lefokastro – Kalamos is a typical coastal trail of South Pelion: deep but gently humanized landscape, nice coastline and quiet environment. Hiking is easy and could be done by a family – preferably with a scheduled transfer back to the starting point, as both ends are connected by an asphalt road.

The route starts from Lefokastro. In the beginning we take the asphalt road to Argalasti. At the end of the settlement we will leave the main road and we will go down a few meters to the beautiful two-head fountain Didyma. We continue with a good cobbled path to the beach of Lefokastro. At the southern end of the beach we enter the olive grove and continue with a short climb to reach the beginning of a pathway, which serves a local aqueduct. We follow this wide path, hiking a few meters over a colorful rocky shore. The vegetation in this section is a typical mediterranean maquis.

We meet the end of a local paved road and continue through old olive groves, until we reach the beach of Agios Sostis. After the end of the beach we enter a dirt road heading to the South. With a short path we descend through an open olive grove to the beach of the small settlement Kalogria. After some walk near the beach, we leave the shore and we enter a concrete road, which is interrupted by a narrow metal bridge over a stream with a permanent flow.

After the bridge we reach Kalamos village.
