Few places inspire hiking quite like Amorgos

The northern crossing of the island along the ridge connecting Chora to Aegiali — the longest hiking route on Amorgos.

The old schoolchildren's path from Aegiali, climbing the bare, rocky slopes of Profitis Ilias.

The historic monks' path linking the port of Katapola to Chora, past old fountains and an ancient chapel.

A long crossing of the western island, from Minoa to Katapola, past coves, an ancient necropolis, and acropolis ruins.

A loop linking the villages of Aegiali, Lagkada, Stroumbos and Tholaria with the nearest points of historical interest.

A short route from Tholaria leading either to a hidden pebble beach or to the barely visible remains of ancient Aegiali.

A short, flat coastal walk along the north of Aegiali bay, between gardens and wild, exotic-looking beaches.

A loop from Katapola to the Agios Georgios Valsamitis monastery, an ancient sanctuary with a spring oracle, via the site of Minoa.

A coastal loop north of Katapola leading to a rare Byzantine chapel, with sweeping views over the bay.

A demanding loop from Lagkada up to the Machos ridge and its windmills, the highest in the Cyclades.
