Info

Particular attention should be paid to prevailing strong winds. The view in every direction, both during the ascent as well as its end point (former Kalamiotissa Monastery), compensates the walker. Entry to the church of the Panagia is only possible with prior arrangement. Route duration: 1 hour and 15' – 1 hour and 30'. 3 Agios Mamas - Agios Dimitrios - Agios Antonios. From Agios Mamas, in a north-westerly direction, the route follows a country road which comes to the area of Agios Dimitrios, with a cluster of traditional homes. From there, the path, well preserved and downhill, cuts across an area with an unobstructed view to the sea in the north, and passes by a series of homes and the remains of ancient buildings. The arrival at Kastraki, a precipitous site with the monydrio (small convent) of Agios Antonios, holds in store a unique experience for the hiker. To visit the church – with its characteristic architecture and 14th century Byzantine frescoes – one must make arrangements in advance with the caretaker. Route duration: 1 hour and 15'. 5 Chora-Stavros-Rachidi-Lakki. Starting from the centre of the village, the route follows a northerly direction to the heart of the inland. The path is uphill and well maintained, up to the Byzantine chapel of Stavros, an essential stop along the route. From there and for approximately 500 metres, the route continues along a country road and comes to the site of Rachidi, passing by the mountain mass of Vigla to the west. The landscape is characterised by the presence of many country cottages. Next, the route continues again on a downhill path that comes to the once thriving farming district of Lakki. The route can also be followed in the opposite direction: Lakki – Rachidi – Stavros - Chora. Route duration: 1 hour and 30' – 1 hour and 45'. 4 Moni Zoodochou Pigis - Kalamos (formerly Kalamiotissa Monastery). The hike presents mountaineering features. The route starts from Monastiri, passing above the cove of Halara, which is exposed to the north winds. Uphill, with particularly steep gradients in many spots, the path climbs up steep and often dangerous spots which are, however, secured by rails. The landscape is divine During every walk on the island, the tourist will come across picturesque little churches and the gorgeous “katoikies”, small country structures with austere, plastic architecture that blends perfectly with the landscape. They will also come across beautiful and mesmerising landscapes. The rocky, steep slopes which in summer succumb to the heat of the Aegean sun, in 152
A n a f i winter are covered by an emerald green carpet of grass and in spring are abloom with wildflowers of every colour imaginable, while the scent of thyme and sage is predominant. Sea and action In summer, the visitor will swim at perfectly clean beaches, away from organised, busy beaches. On the south part of the island are clean, sandy beaches with crystal clear waters, and in the north and west, rocky beaches. The main beaches of the island, starting from the port of Ag. Nikolaos south of Chora and eastwards, are: Ag. Nikolaos, Klisidi, Katsouni, Flamourou, Mikros and Megalos Roukounas (a beautiful, 1 km long, sandy beach where nudism is permitted), Katalymatsa, Ai Giannis, Megas Potamos, Agii Anargyri, Monastiri and (on the north coast of the island) Halara, Vryssi, Livoskopos. Snorkelling and underwater fishing are excellent pastimes, especially on the north coast. Weather permitting, visitors can tour the island with the local caiques or their own boat, or go on an excursion to the nearby islets Ftena, Anafopoulo, Makria, which have been declared areas of particular natural beauty. ONLY IN ANAFI You will see the low, snow-white houses topped with domes, a local architectural feature insulating them from the sun and the wind. If you wish, you can climb mount Kalamos, a huge compact monolith rising 461 metres above sea level – the largest after the rock of Gibraltar. The view is unforgettable. And if you are heading for the dance at the festival, you will hear spur-of-themoment songs, sang casually for you alone. Let's go to Folegandros... Only a stone's throw away!!! 153
