A long walk but well worth the effort to see the amazing ancient plateau above the often wild sea of the west coast of the island and visit the incredible subterranean church. A huge 2-day festival is held here every year to celebrate the feast of St John the Baptist. The walk down from Avlona is reasonably easy going but the return can be rather arduous. It is sometimes possible to arrange for a kaiki boat to pick you up at the small stone landing stage of Vroukounda.

This is one of the most beautiful walks but should only be done with good shoes and by experienced walkers. It is necessary to arrange for a kaiki boat to take you to the nearby island of Saria and drop you at the small stone landing stage in the passage between the two islands. You will then walk up and along the island and down to the lovely bay of Palatia where you can enjoy a swim in the beautiful crystal clear sea.
Your kaiki will come to pick you up there and bring you back to Diafani.
It may be possible to arrange, with the captain of your kaiki, for a barbecue-picnic on the beach of Palatia.
