Walking on samos

12.  Platanos - Kondeika - Ydroussa - Kondakeika - Ag. Dimitrios
Grade : Moderate. There is not too much uphill walking, although we do start with a climb of 150 m. The normal ups and downs follow, but usually on tracks and paths which are good underfoot. Distance: 15 km
Appx 3h 20 min.
13.  Koutsi - Neochori - Koumeika - Ormos - Marathokambos
Grade : Easy - moderate. This is mainly downhill walking; only the loose stony descent to the seashore, which requires some agility, raises the walk from the easy category. Distance: 11 km
Appx 2h 30 min.
14.  Pandrosos - Lazarus - Kokkari
Grade : Strenuous, but not as difficult as it might seen. We start at 600 m, leaving only around 550 m of climbing, most of it during the early section of the walk, while you are still fresh. Distance: 17 km
Appx 4h 30 min.
15.  Pandrosos - Profitis Ilias - Manolates - Platanakia
Grade : Strenuous, but not as difficult as it might seen. Pandrosos is situated at an elevation of around 600 m/2000 ft, which only leaves some 540m to climb to reach the highest point - and at the start of the walk, while you are still fresh. Distance: 19 km
Appx 4hrs.
16.  Mavratzei to Kokkari
Grade : Moderate. The ascending part of this walk takes you up to an altitude of around 400 m, but does so through gradual undulations along footpaths, and tracks which are generally good. Distance: 13 km
Appx 3hrs.
17.  Mavratzei to Mytilini
Grade : Easy. We start with a section of path, but walk is mainly on a track , and the ascents are fairly gradual. Distance: 11 km
Appx 2h 30 min.
18.  Chora - Mili - Heraion - Pythagorion
Grade : Easy - moderate. Only the length raises the grade: this is a mainly level walk with only a gentle climb, finishing with a canter round the bay. Distance: 20 km
Appx 4hrs.
19.  Mytilini to Kokkari
Grade : Easy. There is little climbing involved in this walk, which follows good tracks all the way. Distance: 9 km
Appx 2 hrs.
20.  Mytilini - Moni Vronda - Vourliotes - Platanakia
Grade : Moderate. The height gained throughout this walk totals around 460 m but the ascent are not too steep; otherwise the walk is on tracks and paths which are good underfoot. Distance: 16.5 km
Appx 3h 45 min.
21.   Mytilini - Ag. Triades - Moni Spilianis - Pythagorion
Grade : Easy. The walk is on good tracks over level ground almost all the way. However, the descent on a dusty path can be tricky. Distance: 8.5 km
