A self-guided island crossing links Portello with the western shore through olive groves, low woodland and scattered settlement.
Mathraki's small scale invites walking, but paths can branch or become overgrown outside the main season. Obtain current directions, download an offline map and carry water and sun protection. Respect private land and fire restrictions, avoid pushing through dense vegetation and plan enough daylight for wrong turns. The reward is a clear sense of both island coasts.
