The current \u201cSamaria\u201d ferry schedule (May \u2013 October) departs Paleochora on Monday morning at 8.30am, reaching Gavdos (via Sougia and Agia Roumeli) around 1pm, returning from there on Wednesdays at 2pm, giving ample time for walking some of the waymarked trails on the island. Alternatively, Weds\/Monday allows a longer stay.<\/p><div class=\"tftwj69edce1710552\" ><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\n<!-- convertri page leaderboard -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:728px;height:90px\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1583078900392636\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"4520084506\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">\r\n.tftwj69edce1710552 {\r\nmargin: 5px;padding: 0px;\r\n}\r\n@media screen and (min-width: 1201px) {\r\n.tftwj69edce1710552 {\r\ndisplay: block;\r\n}\r\n}\r\n@media screen and (min-width: 993px) and (max-width: 1200px) {\r\n.tftwj69edce1710552 {\r\ndisplay: block;\r\n}\r\n}\r\n@media screen and (min-width: 769px) and (max-width: 992px) {\r\n.tftwj69edce1710552 {\r\ndisplay: block;\r\n}\r\n}\r\n@media screen and (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 768px) {\r\n.tftwj69edce1710552 {\r\ndisplay: block;\r\n}\r\n}\r\n@media screen and (max-width: 767px) {\r\n.tftwj69edce1710552 {\r\ndisplay: block;\r\n}\r\n}\r\n<\/style>\r\n\n<p>This time I wanted to explore the north-west of the island not previously visited, so, on arrival on Gavdos, I walked up from the harbour at Karave, above Sarakiniko, and on to Agios Ioannis beach, totally deserted in early May.
