Walking trails on Kastos Island offer some great spots for photos including the ancient olive groves, old windmills, secluded bays with crystal clear water and a small village. The island offers wonderful views towards Kalamos and the mainland of Greece.
The walking trails on Kastos are easy to moderate, following the coastal paths along the sea, visiting small coves and beaches.
The walk from Kastos town (the port and only village) to the southern end of the island is a short but rewarding journey through quiet Ionian countryside. It follows a combination of old footpaths and dirt tracks once used by farmers and shepherds, passing olive groves, low stone walls, and open coastal views. The route feels remote despite its modest length and gives a strong sense of the island’s slow pace and traditional life.
Starting from the quaint port of Kastos, we follow the coastal road along the east side of the island, enjoying the views of sparkling coastal waters and secluded beaches. We make our way to Agios Emilianos beach and the Fokotrypa Cave. This cave was once a refuge for the Mediterranean Monk Seal.
Following back along the coastal road there are stunning views to be seen of the mountainous mainland. We then venture up through the small picturesque town of Kastos and walk over to the west side of the island to an old Greek windmill. A great view point looking over the Greek Islands of Kalamos, Meganisi, Formicula and Arkoudi.
