The next morning my husband and I decided to go for a walk. We decided to walk down to a neighbouring villa that had a beach. It wasn't overly far away, but remember this is up in the mountains and the weather, even early morning, is mid 30s. Here is a picture of the pathway down to the villa of Minoli.
Every so often, you get a bit of a flat spot, but for the most part it is stairs, and not all uniform, nice even stairs like we have.
We took just under an hour to get down, but we also stopped a lot to take pictures, as there were many spots where the view was breath-taking! The walk back-up was about an hour and 20 minutes, and it was much harder! There were many times when we wondered why we had decided to do this, but by then it was too late. It was kind of neat though, as all along the stairs were doors to houses that were built into the mountain. It was amazing to see how many people lived along that path, and more amazing to realize that they walked those stairs every day and probably more than once!!!
One of my nieces did the walk on another day, and she used a step-counter app on her phone. It said the round trip was over 7000 steps - not ALL stairs, but the majority of them were.

We did take off our shoes and walk in the Mediterranean Sea when we got down. We took pictures of our feet to prove we went all the way to the bottom! Journey was off kayaking with the younger crowd that morning, so she hadn't come with us.
