The 1.4 km Agioi Anargyroi church to Konnos beach coastal trail is a must do feature of this area with fantastic scenery along this short walk. We can also visit Agioi Anargyroi church and the peak of Cape Greco where the views across the Mediterranean are endless.

We can enjoy time swimming at the beautiful pine fringed Konnos bay and snorkel at the caves.

During the summer heat we can focus more on sea exploration with swimming and snorkelling at the Sea caves and Konnos Bay, and the possibility of spotting turtles.

During the winter months more land based exploration may be preferable with walks of up to 10km possible around the area.

For swimming or snorkelling during the winter you may prefer to wear a wetsuit.

Cape Greco is largely rocky and has a number of beautiful natural attractions such as at least two Sea Cave areas. Cape Greco peak can be seen from a far distance along the coast. The waters along the east coast are usually very calm whereas along the south coast it may get a bit rough after the early morning. The sea is excellent for swimming as well as for snorkelling and spotting many species of marine life, including, possibly Green turtles during the hot season. Konnos beach is one of the best on the island.
