Eva’s Hikes in Amorgos

Some advice
* If possible, never hike all by yourself – take a (charged) cell phone with you – store important phone numbers yuo may need. You can also leave some information on where you go to at the reception of the hotel or with the people you stay with.
* Always take enough to drink, always wear hat to protect from the sun and use sun protection especially sensitive areas like  face and hands .
* Preferably, you should wear long trousers (against the thorny bushes) and some decent, closed shoes with strong soles. A map and a GPS device can be useful especially in high distance tracks. Start your trip early in the morning to take advantage of lower temperature If the indications for these hikes are not sufficient, and if you do get lost in one way or another, these suggestions might be able to keep you on the right track:

1. Many farmers tend to close off their own paths by means of a fence or some thorn bushes – in general you should never cross these blockings, as these paths usually come to an end on a field.
2. When you do get to one of those fields, never try to climb over the stone walls: this is not a good idea and in the end you will definitely have to turn back.
3. The tracks of donkey dung are usually very good guidelines: there are always a lot of these tracks (fresh or dry) on often-used, so good trails. This means that if you hesitate at a junction you always have to choose the path with most donkey tracks.

When planning your excursion take into account the total walking time which can be considerably longer (usually double) than actual walking time, due to pauses to rest, short stops to take pictures, visits, picnics, staying on a beach etc. Take in consideration your physical condition, if track is one way or round trip, how harsh and difficult is the track.
