Having read about the walkway and recommended to see it by a friend in Lapta, we decided on our last night to have a look. Obviously only partly finished we were very impressed. Walked what was open and back.Marvellous sea and inland views and good to see so many people using it.We had a very enjoyable stroll before the sun went down. Didn't know about all new apartment blocks being built, and quite a few sold already,by path just down from bowling green.
What a contrast tonight in UK. 9 degrees arriving home and we have central heating on plus log burner. So lovely when we left this morning.

You can access the path alongside Sardunya Beach and then walk its' length from there. I went along there yesterday and it is a really good walkway and obviously not finished yet. I am hoping that they have plans to build some cafes etc along the route as well as planting out perhaps palm trees and other vegetation otherwise it is a bit bare not withstanding the sea and mountain views. Does anyone know of what the full plans are and am I correct in believing that it is meant to go all the way back to the Lapta strip when finished?

Living on the East side and having tried to find this walk twice I still need more "basic" "simple" instructions on how to get to it please? I have no idea where Sardunya Beach is
I know how easy it is when you know it but when you don't it's like leading a blind man
I know where the Sempati hotel is, I know where the Waterfront Hotel is, I know where Escape Beach is, so could someone direct me to it using well known landmarks as a starting point, I have seen photos of it and would love to be able to enjoy it and take our visitors to it, but as stated on two occasions I have been unable to find it

If you need any more help finding it, pass Hos Bes mini market going towards club simena and you will see the signs for Sardunya beach a little further along.

We found it by taking turning for new bowling green (there is a sign on right hand side), which i think is opposite jolly joker, then turning left at junction,passing bowling green and then taking second dirt track on right. This takes you down to new estate.Park here and this is very close to beginning.

OK! thank you for your help, the map was good and I see I have to go past the Sempati Hotel to find it
I don't know where the bowling green is or Jolly Joker is, but thanks to the map I assume their at the end of the lane?

Currently. one end of the walk is near Sardunya, and the other end is near the Bowling Green.

I can't remember what the final plans are...

I heard that it was going right along passed the Lapta Strip
I was at the Aphrodite Restaurant a couple of weeks ago and couldn't see it from there

hahahha, that's all about a quarter of a mile, you could do better yourself, as an expat living here. Hopefully next year it will help the tourists.
