Tips

This short 1-mile (1.6 km) trail leads to the iconic lighthouse at Cape Tenaro, also known as Cape Matapan, the second most southern point in mainland Europe (after Cape Tarifa in Spain) and the southernmost place on the Greek mainland.

The trail starts from the parking at the end of the paved road with the archaeologically interesting ruins of the Death Oracle of Poseidon Tainarios, God of the sea, not just for sailors.

There are many faint traces of ancient houses and port fortifications cut into the rocks along the way. Today, the only other inhabitants, particularly in winter, are a few cows.

The trail is mostly flat, but has some rocky sections on the last few hundred yards, with a bit of scrambling right before reaching the lighthouse, which is surrounded by a nice observation terrace.

You can return the same way or follow an even more rocky, faint trail a little higher up on the gently sloping ridge, making it a loop back to the start.
