Naxos and the 50km Naxos Strada, Paros, Amorgos, Santorini
Guidebook to 35 walks exploring the Greek islands of Naxos, Paros, Amorgos and Santorini in the Cyclades. Walks range from 4 to 17km, many using traditional working paths but some challenging sections. Includes the 5-stage Naxos Strada coast-to-coast route.
Paros, Naxos, Amorgos, and Santorini are four of the most celebrated islands in the Cyclades, and each one rewards exploration on foot in its own distinctive way. Traditional paths connect marble hills, mountain monasteries, volcanic cliffs, and Cycladic villages across a walking landscape shaped by 2500 years of history.
This comprehensive guidebook by Gilly Cameron-Cooper covers 35 day walks across all four islands plus the 5-stage (52km) Naxos Strada coast-to-coast route, with detailed information on accommodation, ferries, and public transport woven throughout. Routes range from 4 to 16km (2 to 10 miles) and take 2 to 7 hours, with options from easy to challenging and short-cuts available on many walks.
Ancient quarry statues, 9th-century BC stone circles, remote cliff monasteries, and the highest peak in the Cyclades, this guidebook uncovers the walking landscapes that lie beyond the beaches of Paros, Naxos, Amorgos, and Santorini.
