Spartochori and the west coast of Meganisi.
Starting at the bay of Spillia, we walk along the beach and up the forested hill towards Spartochori, another beautiful quaint village on Meganisi, lined with tiny paths and streets and picturesque stone houses.
We then walk towards the chapel of Agios Ionnis, walking amongst olive groves, cypress trees and wild herbs, keeping an eye out for deer and other small animals such as tortoises. The path offers stunning views of the hills and the crystal-clear waters of the Ionian, before leading down towards the waters edge .
Enjoy a swim or relax on the beach, before walking along the coastline back towards Spillia Bay.
