Discovering Yiali Beach

Park near the Chapel of the Prophet Elias; there are plenty of spaces.

(S/E) Leave the car park, continue straight ahead along a wide path heading west, then turn left.
The start of the path is wide and fairly easy. Follow this wide path to its end, taking in the beautiful panoramic views.

(1) Take a sharp right-hand bend onto a narrower path and continue downwards until you reach a more challenging section.

(2) Be careful here: the descent becomes steep; you need to be experienced and have both hands free. For the final few metres, just before the beach, it gets even trickier and you’ll need to be in good physical shape to get down (and also to get back up).

(3) Follow this route back in the opposite direction to return to the car park at the Chapel of the Prophet Elias (S/E).

There are no drinking fountains, so make sure you bring enough water.
(2) For this day out at the seaside, it’s best to opt for a rucksack rather than a beach bag and to wear sturdy shoes. Something I noticed whilst there: I saw several people who were either misinformed or wearing flip-flops having to turn back.

(3) Panoramas and the beach – make the most of the beach; you’ve well and truly earned it.
