Kalymnos | Islandwalking.com

http://www.islandwalking.com/wordpress/greek-islands/kalymnos

Walking the Greek Islands. Κάλυμνος – Dodecanese. Any nice places to stay, I decided to stay “in town”, and rented an entire roof at the Pension Greek House. Or great Greek food I can recommend the Xefteris Taverna and Pandelis Restaurant (try their spagetti with “shrimps” in white sauce). For walks on Kalymnos take a look in Walks in Kalymnos. By Lance Chilton (referred to below as “/Chilton/”. And Samos Patmos Northern Dodecanese. By Dieter Graf (referred to below as “/Graf/”. Really has none). Jus...

http://www.islandwalking.com/wordpress/greek-islands/amorgos

Walking the Greek Islands. Αμοργός – Cyclades. Hen it comes to picturesque mountainscapes and hill villages (especially the Hora), as well as great walking, Amorgos is at the top of the shelf. At least out of high season, it is very nice and quiet, and the small beaches quite sufficient. Whatever you do here, it is no way you can dislike this island. For walks on Amorgos take a look in Trekking in Greece. By Marc Dubin (referred to below as “/Dubin/”), Walking the Aegean Islands. The idea is to avoid the...

Kos | Islandwalking.com

http://www.islandwalking.com/wordpress/greek-islands/kos

Walking the Greek Islands. Κως – Dodecanese. Os may be considered a big, flat beach and party island mostly suited for mass tourism, but it also has several areas that can be of interest for the walker. It even has one spectacular short hike up a mountain for the most tremendous views in the Dodecanese. And nice both short and long walks can be done in the quiet Kéfalos area in the west. Or a great and comfortable stay in the Kéfalos/Kamári area I can recommend the (fairly up-market) Hotel Hermes. He tow...

http://www.islandwalking.com/wordpress/greek-islands/antiparos

Walking the Greek Islands. Αντίπαρος – Cyclades. Ntiparos is (was, partly) a very quiet and very small island, but package tourism has arrived even here. The latest reports are that in high season this island is overrun by Scandinavian families. It offers good sightseeing and good (also nudist) beaches. Any people are day tripping here from Paros, because of the famous Cave. Whitewashed Mykonos town, for instance. It is of course much more simple and unsophisticated, but if you are tired of the touri...

Aegina | Islandwalking.com

http://www.islandwalking.com/wordpress/greek-islands/aegina

Walking the Greek Islands. Αίγινα – Argo-Saronic. Egina is the home of pistachio nuts, and a good place for sightseeing. The ideal. Getaway from Athens and an excellent place for doing more or less nothing while you are waiting for your flight home. A fair number of hotels and rooms in town make it also pleasant to stay your last night here. 1:25000 map also exists. MESAGRÓS – PALEÁ HÓRA –. The ancient capital of Paléa Hóra makes this an extremely interesting walk. The walk had a few problems with or...

http://www.islandwalking.com/wordpress/greek-islands/alonissos

Walking the Greek Islands. Αλόννησος – Sporades. Lonissos is a very quiet little island, located just to the east of Skopelos. It is primarily a destination for daytrippers from the nearby islands, who may want to escape e.g the rush of Skiathos. For walks on Alonissos take a look in “Alonissos On Foot” by Bente Keller, available locally and on the web. By Foxy’s Island Walks. Just a couple of things to note about this walk. The church of Ag. Fanourios can only be approached from behind, the foot...The w...

http://www.islandwalking.com/wordpress/greek-islands/kastellorizo

Walking the Greek Islands. Μεγιστη – Dodecanese. Astellorizo (or Megisti, which is its Greek name) is a delightful little island isolated on the Turkish coast. Not many people live here the whole year round, and to call it idyllic is an understatement. The island is perfect for just relaxation, because it is so small there is not a great deal of walking to be done. Along the waterfront there are many nice cafés and tavernas. For a walk on Kastellorizo take a look in Turkish Coast – Kas to Dalyan.
