Kisamos et la plage de Balos
... avec cuisinette, exactement ce qu'il nous faut. Giulia, la propriétaire, fille de célèbres aubergistes de la région, nous invite à prendre le café.

La marche commence par une longue descente abrupte dans un escalier de pierre. Nous marchons ensuite sur un sentier caillouteux. Il y a beaucoup de marcheurs.
