Early departure to the Island of Amorgos. We’ll make a stop in the archipelago of Koufounisia and walk on the shore to admire the golden beaches and green waters. Then we continue sailing to reach the small village of Aegiali located on the North East side of Amorgos, where our trekking will start.

The first part of the trekking in Amorgos is a ring route, starting from the fishermen dwarf, we will reach Tholaria, follow the North side of Mount Krikellos, reach the church of Agios Theologos and then the Church of Stravros (680 m), a viewpoint above a very steep cliff. We walk a short way back and then reach the village of Langada and later Aegiali, the starting point.

A long walking day that will take us to the gorgeous Monastery of Panaghia, the village of Chora and then back to the sea level at the Katapola port. The first part of the trek is unrolling on the North slope of the Island passing through the villages of Kato Potamos and Ano Potamos. We will cross to the South slope, then reach the sheltered XI century Monastery of Panaghia Hozoviotissas. After a long stop for pictures, resting and to satisfy your curiosity we climb the ridge, crowded with windmills and we reach the distinctive village of Chora. Here it pays to make a long stop for a snack and to walk the narrow lanes of this white walled village. From here we can either walk or take a car down to the port of Katapola where we will find our boat and our skipper.

From Katapola we walk west to reach the archeological spot of Arkea Archesini. After a visit to the ruins we will board the boat and cross back to Paros where we will arrive in late afternoon. After the berthing in the Marina you can visit Paroikia, swim in the bay and spend a mundane night in the village.

There are a few trails to chose from in the Island of Paros. In all of them you will have the chance to see beautiful views of the Aegean Sea and find small secluded beaches for a swim. Last dinner on the boat.
