These are two steep and narrow paths through the trees down to our favourite beach, Lakkos.

Time	5-7 minutes
Distance	400m
Difficulty	Difficult – steep paths down the hillside.  Recommend trainers
Easy to get lost?	Medium – the path down to Orkos at the halfway point is signposted

Route 1

1. Leave Orkos Vista gate and turn right.
2. 20 m up the road where it turns sharp right, under Aristos’ villa (the captain’s villa) go straight ahead instead of turning right.  
3. Another 20m ahead of you to the left you will find the steps at the top of the path down towards Lakkos beach
4. Follow the path all the way down.  At the bottom of the valley it branches left to the beach.

Route 2

1. Leave Orkos Vista gate and turn left to go further down the track
2. After 100m the road takes a hairpin left – instead take the gravel track to the right.
3. 30m further on, take the left branch of the track down the hill where it splits
4. Where the main track stops, there is a ‘secret’ path left directly down the hillside through the trees
5. You come to an open area on the cliffs just above the sea.  Turn right along the little hidden footpath.  This takes you directly to the beach.
