Pola Island Trail Details

The Pola Island trail is short and fairly flat, a great option for those looking for something to do upon waking up or to stretch legs in the afternoon. The trail terminates at a rough, rocky beach with views of the coastline and the pointed Pola Island. Beware of some unfriendly dogs that inhabit the village of Vatia. To avoid them, drive past the last house at the end of the paved road in Vatia. This road will lead you to the trailhead.
