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.
