This guidebook for hiking trails on the Greek island of Kythnos in the Aegean, is a result of work undertaken by local Surveyor Eng. Katerina Filippa, and Nigel Tutt, an British journalist and businessman who spends a lot of his time on Kythnos, restoring two old mansion houses in the village of Dryopida and turning them into a 10-room luxury hotel, Hotel Galatas. The book describes 11 routes with detailed maps, trail guides and photos of the most interesting historical, cultural, industrial and scenic sites along the eleven routes.
The island offers stimulating walks through hilly land up to 300 metres high or more, nature, farming, history, archeological remains, and as a route to some of Kythnos’s numerous sandy beaches.
The individual routes offer a variety of terrain and difficulty: many follow old mule tracks across remote valleys to hidden beaches; some rise up to Byzantine castles and archeological sites on impressive headlands; and some are physically demanding and climb steep, rough stone steps.
