iCyclades - Cyclades Discovery Guide

Don't count on us to climb the steps and shoot a panorama from the roof of the church!

We will of course go in this pretty and simple little church...

Our virtual stroll starts here, in front of the offices of Alpha Rent-a-Car, a trusted car rental company. The walk takes you along the seafront and the beach, as well as to Agia Pakou, the small church overlooking the bay. Have a nice walk!

Our virtual stroll follows the entire waterfront to the small jetty to let you enjoy the view and show you how crystal clear is the water in the bay.

We arrive at the end of the walk on the seafront, let's go and admire the view! And if you want even more impressive views, climb up to the church of Agia Pakou...

To reach the south of the beach and the path that climbs towards Agia Pakou Church, we follow the road that leads to the pier protecting the tiny port.

A few steps lead down to the beach, which we will follow to its northern end. Continuing along the seafront, we will soon see the path that climbs towards Agia Pakou Church.

Below the road, a pedestrian quay invites to stroll and relax, but to join the path of Agia Pakou we will now go on walking on the road.

From here starts the path that climbs up to the church of Agia Pakou, and over the hill down to the small nudist beach of Armeos on the other side. Correct footwear is recommended, although the path to the church is not particularly difficult.

Let's enjoy the beach while it is deserted, the season is over, the umbrellas have been taken down, but the water is still warm... All the panoramas of the beach were shot at the beginning of October, the July-August crowds are long gone...

It is a very simple church, not overloaded with ornaments, which invites you to take a meditative break.

From the esplanade of the small church, the panoramic view over the bay of Galissas is breathtaking, you won't regret the walk!

The small pier is only used as a mooring place for a few pleasure boats and fishing boats, but it offers beautiful views of the bay and the beach and allows you to swim in incredibly crystal clear waters.

Stop! Do not go any further! In theory, there is a path that goes around the hill to reach the nudist beach of Ormeos, but it is dangerous and involves rock climbing.

From the esplanade of this small church the view of the beach and the sea will make you want to keep climbing towards Agia Pakou!

The climb to Agia Pakou is not difficult, except in the hottest hours of the summer!

Don't miss the view from the esplanade of this small church while going up to Agia Pakou!

The higher you go up, the more impressive the view of the sea becomes...

One last stairway and you'll be there! On the left, you can see the path that leads down to the nudist beach of Armeos on the other side of the hill.

A last, slightly tricky passage to reach the esplanade. Go to the back of the church, it's the easiest.

It's a bit dizzying but the panorama you will discover will be the reward for your efforts.

From the esplanade of the church you have a breathtaking view of the small beach of Armeos. A little too inaccessible for our taste, knowing that afterwards we have to go all the way back via goat paths...
