A small entry fee gives access to the 98 steps, church, temples, a small museum and dramatic views over the coastline. The elusive golden step may not be apparent, as legend holds that it was sold by the Patriarchs to solve economic problems during the Turkish era \u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Towards Elafonisi, c 400m after the junction, is a side turning to Aspri Limni, or White Lake.

In stormy seas, not until the morning of the 24th were survivors brought ashore from the wreck, assisted by local villagers and monks from the monastery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So we paddled northwards, and a pleasant 3km directly back into Voulolimni, hard to identify from afar, but with the distinctive white chapel of Agios Panteleimon the landmark to head towards. As predicted, winds were rising and the sea becoming \u201clively\u201d as we loaded the kayaks. Soon the mid-November afternoon would brighten in the west, and slightly weary kayakers would enjoy both rest and a cold beer \u2026.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style>\n\t\t\t.huge-it-share-buttons
