Starting in Athens and ending in Gavrio, the tour "Andros Trail Self Guided Walk" is a self-guided walking trip that takes 9 days. You will travel through Andros, Remata, Athens and 4 other destinations in Greece. "Andros Trail Self Guided Walk" is a private tour which includes accommodation, transport, meals and others.
Discover the Cycladic island of Andros on Foot. In 2012, a group of volunteers with a passion for the Cycladic island of Andros set about restoring and maintaining an ancient network of paths as a sustainable tourism project. Long before motorised transport, these old footpaths were the only way of travelling from village to village. As you walk along the well signposted route, the stonework and monuments are a testament to their historic legacy. Unspoilt beaches, classic coastal views and a multitude of natural features enrich the experience as you ascend mountain trails with sweeping vistas. At the end of the day, feast on typical Greek dishes at local tavernas and experience the warm hospitality of the island in handpicked accommodation. A truly rewarding walk on an unspoilt Greek Island.
