Walking on Amorgos…means fresh
air, sun, smell from the herbs and an endless view of the
bright blue Aegean Sea. You can have this view from almost
every single point of your route.
Things to be taken into consideration; it was not until the
mid 1990s that the first proper roads were constructed. These
are; a) From Chora to Arkesini southwards and b) from Chora
to Egiali northwards. Before then, the car as a means of transport
was of little importance. Donkeys used to be the essential
means of transport by land and therefore, a well-designed
"system" of cobbled paths used to cross the island
and guarantee the transportation of goods to the villages.
Despite the fact that nowadays the car has already "invaded"
the island, Amorgos remains peaceful and quiet. |

| The
traditional paths have mostly been preserved, providing
us with amazing opportunities of exploring the island.There
is also the route to the Mountain Korakas, which is the
highest mountain of the region. A lot of interesting opportunities
for exploration can be found in the Bay of Egiali in the
north of the island, such as the remote small bays of Megali
Vlichada and Mikri Vlichada which are also suitable for
swimming.
Whichever route you choose, rambling round Amorgos is a
celebration for all the senses... |
