There are two hikes we completed in the Cyclades Islands so we had to share them with you all!
Our trip to the Cyclades in Greece was the below:
Santorini > Milos > Paros > Mykonos
Santorini
The walk that people will do when visiting Santorini is from Fira to Oia or vice versa.
We were staying in Oia so got the bus to Fira and walked back. The busses in all the Cyclades were great and so reliable!
The walk is super easy and you cannot get lost, you simply follow the coast. It starts in the centre of Fira so you can mooch the shops on route and go down to the old port should you wish.
Then you wind the gorgeous streets where all the hotels are, and these hotels are incredible with stunning pools and views!
Then it gets a little quieter and you go past Nobu hotel and a couple of churches before heading down to the road.
Then you head back up a steep hill to a church that looks over Oia before descending into the town.
Paros
We did this walk by accident when someone asked us where the start of the walk was when we were wandering the streets of Lefkes.
We quickly jumped onto our favourite alltrails app and low and behold it was a famous walk!
The Byzantine road is the oldest trail on the island, and connects Lefkes to Prodromos. The Byzantine Road starts at Louki’s café in Lefkes. The trail, whose history dates back to the Byzantine era (1,000 AD), is 3.5 kilometers long and is paved with Parian marble. It takes you 1 hour to get to Prodromos and then 1 hour back.
Make sure when you get to the end of the Byzantine road you walk the extra 10 minutes into the gorgeous town of Prodromos.
