The sixth of Christian Peter’s walks.
6. From Christos Raches to Manganitis – Ikaría
This unknown, but astonishing walk starts in the mountain village of Xristos Raches in Western Ikaria. The day long walk first heads towards the high plateau of Ammoudia from where you follow a steep, but paved kalderimi into the fishermen´s village of Manganitis. As Ikaría even today does not have too much tourism, walking on the island still feels like the expedition into the everyday island life of former times .
