Explore Ithaca Hike 2016 - Walks of Ithaca Greece

The Mother's Club for the Middle School in Vathy organized a great hike with Dimitris Artavanis from Explore Ithaca which took a group of students and parents from Marathia along mountain ridges to Spiliotissa chapel, onto Perahori, Marmarospilia and then ending in Ithaki's capital of Vathy. Below: Explore Ithaca's guide - Dimitris Artavanis who has been showing Ithacans and visitors our wonderful island.

A perfect day for walking, sunny and blue-skied, crisp fresh air and clear views. It was chilly in the shade, but when in the sunshine, the kids took off their parkers and walked in their t-shirts. This is one of Explore Ithaca's easier walks, but it was still a great challenge through rocky narrow goat tracks which weaved and climbed around the mountain sides.
