Itinerary description
We walked the route counter clockwise. The first part towards the mystical view, the path is marked with red paint dots and easy to follow. At the viewpoint there is a nice taverna where it's possible to get something to drink and eat. From here it's possible to extend the hike to the beach. We returned to Matala with the ocean next to the path. In this section of the path look out for cairns to guide the way.
Nice scenery throughout the whole hike.

Da gibt es weder einen Weg noch rote Irgendwas.
Null Sterne !!!
You complain there is no path or marking. Maybe you should get your eyes checked. This is not a city walk.
Instead of writing such a mess you should describe it better. Even my host or other people don't know. Google sent me To a lost House in the middle of knowhere
Then the problem is Google maps on your phone and not this description.
You review is not correct since you apparently haven't done the hike.
If you find the starting point, then the walk is easy to follow.
Can you describe it better? Because i went To the Point on the map and there is nothing. ;-)
This was a lovely walk!!!
I also walked anti clockwise. Thank you for showing it to me. I thought the description would be enough, but I had to download it. When I was 3/4 gone, my mobile died, but I managed. I did not meet anyone and had a bath when the path reached the sea underways.
Geniale Wanderung. Wir sind bei Aleko's Fish Taverna eingestiegen und gegen den Uhrzeigersinn gelaufen. Der Einstieg ist auf dem oberen Parkplatz links oben in der Ecke und deutlich mit leuchtendem Orange gekennzeichnet. Nach einiger Zeit hat man die Möglichkeit, einen breiten Weg zum Wasser zu nehmen. Wir sind dort runter. Schöne natürliche Pools zum Abkühlen. Danach sind wir wir ohne Markierungen weiter am Wasser entlang. War kein Problem. Vor Matala muss man aber wieder den Berg am Steilhang hoch. Oben findet man dann ältere rote Markierungen. Am Ende gibt es dann wieder welche in Orange. Folgt man den roten, geht es zurück ins Inland. Etwas Orientierungssinn ist gefragt und dann ist man wieder an der Taverne. War allerdings geschlossen.
