Contrary to what the tour suggests, at the shipwrecks (which are impossible to miss), you don't go left along the coastal road high up on the mountain, but instead go down to the right towards the resort and Kalypso Bay. From there, climb the spectacular rock steps and continue towards Damnion Beach. However, the route via the Kalypso steps cannot be selected in Komoot; it seems to be closed for some reason.
