I have been asked for my opinion on this topic so don't jump down my throat if you don't agree.
This was easily the best rural walking I have done ( I include my partner in this with her wholehearted agreement).
The wildflowers we numerous and very pretty. The butterflies, a particular fav of mine, were plentiful and varied, and incl meadow brown, clouded yellow a small blue several swallow tails and more.
Most of the walks came from L Chilton book. If you don't have the book already you must buy it.
One of the best was from Arillas to Afionas. We ascended by one of the two roads and descended via the other one. It was a little challenging by virtue of the at times steep ascent but take your time you are on your hols.
We added the walk into St George beach on one day too but found it really hard at 5pm in direct hot sun to get back up that initial hill.
We loved the cliff path up to the St Steph ridge and the small chapel. One day we met David who was placing his wife's ashes in the chapel.. We had a long and emotional chat with him, good luck David, we are still thinking of you.
The walk to Kabadades via that off road route was excellent too for similar reasons to some of the others Also don't miss the rural approach to the Analypsi church.
I think that's enough to be getting on with but remember in May some of the days are cool for walking and some become too hot.
Have great visit
