Ixia coast


The breathtaking scenery on the coastline will make you forget you’re running. Most of the time it’s at least mildly windy. The turquoise water next to the rocks on the coast will keep your eyes stimulated. The natural soundtrack is the waves hitting the coastline. On the route you will also see the historic neighborhood of “Kritika” which was built for immigrants arriving from Crete after the Ottoman era. Possibility to combine a dip in the sea with your run. The perfect running experience.

The moat of the Medieval Town


It’s difficult to find a jogging route in more historic surroundings. You will be fascinated by the tall medieval walls rising left and right. On the way there are amphitheaters, impressive gates as well as tunnels on this path which lead to the narrow alleys of the old town. An excursion to run (or walk) in the old town is also a possibility, especially outside of the busiest hours. The route on the moat is nearly 2km which is not the longest but you can extend it with an excursion to the alleys of the old town or running back and forth. The terrain is a mix of sand and small rocks which makes it like running in nature for the feet.
