We walk the second day of a potential maritime variant of the Saint Andrew’s Path, walking the 17kms between Piraeus and Megara, crossing the island of Salamis on foot.

We also visited the remains of Ancient Salamis and the monastery of the Dormition of the Virgin, to take a second ferry and join the main route in the Megara wetland.

This video presents a possible two-day maritime variant, where instead of following the sacred path to Eleusis and then to Megara along the coast, you go in the direction of Piraeus to reach Megara via Salamina.

Additionally, we cover the first stage, Athens-Piraeus, which is only 10km long, visiting the ruins of the Long Walls, an ancient defensive fortification built by order of General Themistocles in the 5th century BC, to repel a Persian invasion.

We walk the fourth day of the potential Way of St. Andrew, walking the 15kms between Agioi Theodori and Istmia, following in part the tracks of the old narrow-gauge train.

The day consists of walking by beaches and alongside industrial polygons, making it the least interesting of all the stages so far.

The good thing about the stage is the end, where we arrive at the Corinth Canal, one of the longest civil engineering works in history, completed 1800 years after its start.
Furthermore this area is very rich in historical heritage, as it has the archaeological site of Istmia and the Byzantine wall of Examilia.

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.

We walk the second day of the potential San Andres Path, walking the 26kms between Eleusis and Megara, following in part the tracks of the old narrow-gauge train.

We pass in front of the MS Mediterranean Sky, through the towns of Loutropirgos, Neraki, Nea Peramos and Pachi, as well as the Megara wetland, which is a bird refuge where you can see storks and flamingos.

In this video, we do a preliminary analysis of a potential long-distance hiking similar to the Camino de Santiago, from Athens, to visit the remains of the Apostle Saint Andrew in Patras, Greece.

The analysis includes the description of the route, the tracing of the route, populations and services, accommodations, water and public fountains, beaches, stages, monuments, nature and landscapes and following steps.

If you have questions and doubts, as well as suggestions, you can leave them in the comments. We will try to resolve all issues in a future video at the end of the experience.
