Before you set out

Water

Carry at least 1.5 litres of water per person. Springs and village cafés along the way may be dry or closed outside the summer season.

Wind & weather

In summer the meltemi blows hard on exposed ridges and coastal paths. Avoid the midday heat from June to September and check the forecast before you leave.

Waymarks

Routes are signposted at junctions and carry their code (e.g. M11). If you have not seen a waymark for a while, go back to the last one. See all waymarks →

Offline app

Mobile signal is patchy in gorges and remote areas. Download the route and the map in the Kythera Trails app before you set out.
