Description

If you want to have an outdoors adventure in the closest spot to paradise on earth, then you should join me on the Cyclades Islands’ trekking in Greece.

The Cyclades islands are a group of islands located in the Aegean Sea, in the southeastern region of Greece. 

And I will take you sailing to Amorgos and Paros, two of the most beautiful and less crowded islands of this archipelago. And once on these islands we’ll go hiking to discover some ancient roads and structures surrounded by an incredible landscape and the blue and turquoise sea.

My plan is to spend a few days in each islands, to visit the best of both of them. And every night we’ll be sleeping on the boat, that will be following our progress by sea. Plus you’ll be able to have relaxing swims in the golden beaches that will surround us every time.

So send me a request to join a group on a fix date or let me know when you want to make this Cyclades Islands’ trekking program in Greece and we’ll start organizing your next unforgettable trip!

And if you want to try other adventures in this Greece, please check my Climbing and sailing on Kalymnos Island, Greece and my Trekking the Kalymnos trail in Greece.

Itinerary

Day 1: Arrival

Meeting at the Paros Airport. Transfer to the Marina and accommodation on the boat. Depending on the arrival time we’ll visit the town of Paroikia, with the famous church of Panagia Ekatontapiliani. Quick briefing on safety on board and dinner in town.

Day 2: Sail to Amorgos

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.

Day 3: First hike

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.

Day 4: Hike to Chora

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.

Day 5: Hike to Arkea Archesini and sale to Paros

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.

Thank you explore-share for a wonderful via feratta experience. We have been wanting to learn for a long time but don't have the facilities in Scotland. The guide Mitja was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my many questions and providing advice. On the day head to take another group but he quickly arranged another guide Borut, who was brilliant. We had a fantastic morning learning via ferrata at Hvadnik in the gorge. It gave us the confidence to later hire our own equipment and go out in Mojstrana. Altogether a five star + experience. Thank you.

Hello! I have been thoroughly impressed by the service and assistance that explore-share have provided the past couple years in helping to plan my trip to the High Tatras in Poland. I really appreciated the flexibility that they provided in allowing me to rearrange my trip twice owing to covid. They were responsive and communicative throughout. This trip was part of my Stag weekend celebrations and explore-share connected me with an outstanding guide in the form of Marcel - he was an excellent recommendation and we really enjoyed our guided hike in the High Tatras with him. Marcel was an outstanding professional, placed a high focus on preparing well and staying safe, and was also a great guy! Highly recommend. Many thanks and best wishes - Richard
