Way of Saint Andrew – Day 3: Megara – Agioi Theodori

We travel the third day of the potential Camino de San Andres, traveling the 23kms between Megara and Agioi Theodori, partly following the tracks of the old narrow-gauge train.

We pass by a monumental tomb from the third century BC, known as the tomb of King Kar, in addition to multiple German bunkers from World War II. The landscapes of this stage are beautiful and if you do it in spring, summer and autumn, you can enjoy excellent beaches.
