As you come from the beach and walk past Bardis Hotel there is a small road on your right sign posted for Afionas. This is the same one Truth describes (obviously coming from the other direction!!). A couple of hundred yards further on there is another slightly better road on your right, also signed for Afionas. I would say the first one after Bardis is, like Truth says, slightly shorter but a bit steeper and not recommended if you are driving. I think it has slightly more shade and much better views, particularly on the way back down. The other benefit is that you come out on the top ridge road quite a bit closer into Afionas and only a short walk to the turning down into Ag G. The second turning (furthest from beach) is not as steep, a better made road but , in my opinion, not as scenic. Also, once you reach the top ridge road, it is still quite a trek into the centre of Afionas. We prefer the turning closest to the beach but in any event I recommend stopping off on route for a rest and refreshments..... it's a long long trek to go all the way to the far end of Ag G in one go. As for timings... all depends on your pace and stops but I would guess that from the start of the first turning all the way up to Afionas is probably one and a half times the trip down into Ag G....but don't forget to add on a good 20 mins walk to get along the beach front in Ag G....... or to make it easier as we do sometimes...hire a Quad bike, make a day of it and carry on through Ag G to Pagi, Krini, Angelokastro, Makrades then down through Lakones to Paleokastritsa and back.... some of the most fantastic scenery to had anywhere... loads of stop offs and generally done in about 5 or 6 hours.... a fantastic day out.
