I would need a car or a lift, as it would be far too long to wait for the return bus. Much as I love the walk back (and have done it many times) I am not capable of doing it now
Bee,in September we caught the 11.15 bus to Avliotes,cost 1.50 Euros,Popped into Ilias for an iced tea and said we would be coming back for lunch.We then set off for a stroll around the village,even climbed up to the church,not for the faint hearted as the hill is very steep.
We then returned to Ilias for a leisurely lunch and caught the 3.30 bus back to San Stefanos and the time just flew by.
