Hike starting from Artemonas, first following trail number 3 from the ELTA post office in Apollonia, then trail 3a which leads to the monastery of Panagia Chrysopigi (Apofoko beach) before reaching Faros beach via a coastal path.
This is a fairly easy, well-marked hike that passes through terraces lined with olive trees, fields and churches.
The return journey is by bus from Faros; see the timetable online.
If you take trail 3 instead of trail 3a, trail 3 ends at Platis Gialos beach.
