Today you will experience one of the most interesting hikes of Andros with splendid view to the sea, reaching the high mountain of Kouvara. We will follow part of  the old trail which connected south west Andros to the central villages and Chora, the so-called “Ample Way” (Fardia Strata). The route crosses steep mountain slopes with holy-oak, wild olives and seasonal crops. The shady stoned-trail, which has a wonderful view of the sea, passes springs, stone water tanks, old farmhouses, unusual rock formations and two waterfalls, flowing down the steep hills of the mountain, impressively appearing through the dense plantation of Paleopolis. The main route then turns north-east, passing above the Melida watermills and leading towards Ano Pitrofos through a rocky landscape.
