Early morning you will not be meeting lots of people. Probably only a few fishermen getting their boats and hoping for luck in their journey of fishing!
Starting at the pier of Apollon and after doing a short preparation (especially if you are not doing any exercise), just follow the street till you reach a point, that you can do a full U-turn on your right. You will find the U-turn after passing the small church and the cemetery on your left.
This hike has ups and downs! So there are a lot of slopes. You start from sea level, you go up till the Kouros statue and you finish again at sea level.
Do not let the ups and downs scare you. You will have a fabulous view from the mountain and you could even visit the statue of Kouros and be alone!
After passing the statue of Kouros, take the street on your right with the very steep slope down. You will see the beautiful beach of Aformoi going down and walk in the small alleys of Apollon till you reach the square of the church.
Be properly prepared with hat, sunscreen and water and especially if you want to run these 2km, start very early. Middle May is already warm as easily as 7 o’clock for running for some people.
