Before you go

  • The official site lists two approaches: the southern route from Marinella is generally easier, while the northern approach is more demanding and less suitable for children or older visitors.
  • The Marinella walk is described as very short, around 10 minutes, but includes steps and coastal terrain.
  • Access is regulated with tickets and seasonal opening times: always check before leaving.

Useful sources and tracks

Trails, access, surfaces, vegetation and weather can change. Always check current sources before leaving; for EE-grade or poorly marked routes we recommend a local hiking guide.
