This hike is just over 11.3 km so we approximate 6 hours.The trail we assess as medium-severe, 4/5.The surface is paths that at times can be very rocky and unevenly paved, as well as shorter stages on gravel road.We recommend hiking boots for good support in the rocky areas.

We make this hike more as a nature walk,where you also get to experience the culture/history when we walk through three more less abandoned villages.We do lunch stop and photostop as needed.We finish the hike where we started and if required we stop at a nice beach road for a dip in the sea,so bathing suits can be good to include.
