Weight: 280g Naxos and the 50km Naxos Strada, Paros, Amorgos, Santorini This
guidebook offers 35 day walks across the four Cycladic islands of Paros, Naxos,
Amorgos and Santorini. Best explored in spring and autumn, each island offers a
unique walking experience and the walks range from easy 4km town tours to 16km
hikes visiting remote peaks in wild interiors. This is the first guide to
feature the new 50km Naxos Strada, which is introduced as a series of five day
walks. The walks often follow traditional paved paths which have been used by
locals for centuries and the guide offers a wealth of insights into the history,
geology and wildlife of the areas travelled through. Dotted amongst rugged
mountains and working farmland are historic sites dating back to the height of
Ancient Greece and impressive rural monasteries. On the coast, white sand bays
and dramatic cliffs frame the expansive blue Aegean sea. For each walk, this
guide includes detailed route description and Anavasi mapping to aid navigation.
It also contains information about getting to the Cyclades and island hopping,
along with an English-Greek glossary of key words and phrases and an appendix
full of useful contacts.
