AN ENDLESS HIKING NETWORK

walking in the Cyclades

The Aegean island trails are often those same ancient routes that people used to follow, centuries ago, to reach the shrines and temples, build their towers and villages, and take care of their animals and land. The term “monopati” (trail) is used today to characterize all these different paths, cobbled through multiple time periods, “stenes” (narrow trails), ancient passages, and grand Venetian-time trails, that make up the rural landscape of Cyclades.

 The best way to truly discover Greece’s Cyclades Islands is by walking. Aside from the beaches, there are unexceptional sights at every turn of the islands’ trails: archaeological sites, remote chapels and monasteries, windmills, dovecotes, authentic landscapes, rural sceneries, charming villages, Venetian towns, rugged hilltops, Byzantine chapels, wildflowers, birdlife, and small tavernas serving exceptional local dishes.
Whether you’re an experienced hiker or not, there are hundreds of kilometers of beautiful trails for hikers of all levels.


“ Τhe best way to experience what is unique about the Cyclades is by exploring on foot the monopatia”.


All of our walking holidays can turn into a guide or a self-guided walking experience, according to your needs and fitness level.

We only walk in small groups! All our local guides are nature lovers, with in-depth knowledge of the island’s flora and biodiversity and passionate about healthy food. We walk with environmental awareness by respecting all the places we visit and their local ecosystems and habitats, and we reduce as much as possible the traces and effects on nature from our activity.

We provide you with biodegradable tableware for your picnics, healthy flapjacks, and a canteen for your daily water. Don’t worry you can find springs with drinkable and freshwater! Our picnics contain local ingredients and/or organic products based on traditional recipes
We work exclusively with local producers and small family business accommodations. We use, as much as we can, our feet and not cars or buses for our transfers.

All our itineraries are carefully planned, they usually start from the main port of each island. We provide you with all the necessary on-land services and ferry tickets. If you need a transfer from the airport to the Port please ask us. 

Trekking-in-to-in itineraries, one or two center-based walking programs, and delightful routes of short or long distances await you.
