Hiking on Ikaria

To really get to know Ikaria's soul, you must go on a hike. Armenistis is a perfect base for those who want to do it. The popular hiking trail "The Round of Raches On Foot" begins and ends at Livadia beach and is approximately 14 kilometers long if you walk the entire hiking trail.

 

Hiking on Ikari island in Greece.

Many hiking trails are well marked.

 

The hike "The Round of Raches On Foot" takes you around large parts of the area called Raches. On your hike you will pass several villages where you can eat lunch, you walk through pine forests, you come to small freshwater lakes inhabited by water snakes, you will hike through gorges so beautiful that you will be amazed and you will surely meet turtles and see birds of prey, including the rapid as lightning Eleanor Falcon. The hike is described in detail in a map with the same name as the hike. The map is available in well-assorted shops.

I like to hike when I'm in Greece, and I'm more than happy to do it on Ikaria, which I think is one of the best hiking islands in the Greek archipelago. Other islands that I like to hike on are Amorgos, Folegandros, Crete, Sifnos and Tilos.

In addition to the hiking map "The Round of Raches On Foot", there is another very good hiking map. It covers the whole of Ikaria and is published by the Greek cartographic publisher Terrain maps. The map's resolution is 1:35,000 and can be purchased on site. The map describes the eleven best hikes on the island.

 

Ikaria is one of the best hiking islands in Greece along with Amorgos, Folegandros, Crete, Sifnos and Tilos.

The special nature invites you to hikes. Like here where there are many Anti-Pirate houses.
