How to get to
Myrtiotissa
Beach.
The quickest way to drive to Myrtiotissa is to head
for Sinarades,
Pelekas and then
Glyfada - so if you look on your map you should be able to
see the general direction you must go.
From Agios Gordios,
drive up the main street until you reach the main bus stop/GB's
Supermarket and bear left towards Sinarades. Continue on this
road past the Pink Palace Youth Hostel, up the hill and inland.
Past the petrol filling station on your left and for a further 1/2
mile or so until you come to the turning on your left into Sinarades
village. Take this turn and drive through the village, take
care as the roads are pretty narrow. Once you are through the
main part of the village you will come across a roundabout, go
straight over and continue until you reach a T junction. At
this point turn left and continue on this road for a couple of
miles, you can see Pelekas village up on the hill in front of
you.
The road to Myrtiotissa
You will come to a
cross roads, at which you go straight on heading towards Glyfada/Ropa
valley.
Continue on this road for a couple of miles until you reach a T
junction. At this junction you bear left for about 100 metres
and take the first turning on the left (there is a house on the
corner). Continue on this smaller road past a few house until
you reach the T junction at the end. Here turn right and
almost immediately turn left on to a rough track that should be
signposted Myrtiotissa.
Once you are on this
road there is only one way to go! carry on all the way (it is
a rough track at some points so please drive carefully) until you
reach a newly built cafe called "The Olive Tree" this is all made
from wood and has a car park behind it. Park here (it should
cost c. 2 euros) and take your swimming things and walk the
rest of the way down the track to the beach. As you begin this
walk you will have spectacular views of the beach and coastline all
around.
The return journey is
exactly the same way that you used to get here, so use the
instructions above. Have a great swim and enjoy the crystal
clear water and fine sand. |
