This is an easy but long walk to Loggos.  We like it as a walk to Loggos for the bakery or if we want to leave the car behind on a night out or for a long lunch.

Time 40-50 minutes
Distance  2.7km
Difficulty Easy/Medium – along roads and paths and old steps down into Loggos
Easy to get lost? Easy get lost and take the wrong turning.  Take a map or phone / GPS

Route

  1. Leave the villa and head back along the 500m gravel track to the main road
  2. At the main road turn right.  After just 30m on the left you will find an area where cars and crates are often parked.  This is the start of a path which you follow.
  3. Follow the path through past the two houses / farms until it comes out at a small road (around 300m)
  4. Take a left at the road and after 20m on the right at the start of the drystone wall there is a path that ascends up to the main high road out of Lakka (around 200m).
  5. At the main road (high road out of Lakka) turn left towards Loggos.  Take the third road/track to the left (after 300m) which climbs up gradually past a few houses.
  6. After following this road through the Paxos houses for 300m you will see a tiny white gatehouse with a shrine in it.  Turn left here.
  7. After 100m leave the track and take a small footpath to the left.  This leads down the hillside to the road above Loggos
  8. At the road above Loggos, turn left and follow the road for 300m.  You pass a small church on the right.
  9. Immediately after the villa with the pink wall on the right, turn right and go down the road.  This turns into an old path with steps down into Loggos town.
  10. If you missed this straight path, and continued on down the road keeping right, you would come to the top of the donkey steps instead which also lead down into Loggos.
