12noon hike from Kathara – Anogi – Kioni
First we visit Kathara monastery, the last monastery on Ithaca.
It’s situated at an altitude of 560 meters and from the church steeple the view towards Vathi is spectacular.
The track starts near the monastery and is very rocky with low growth. It climbs to 650 meters and then starts to descent to the mountain village of Anogi. It takes about two hours and the walk is easy.
A local Kafenion offers refreshments. Next to it is a 15th Century church with Byzantine frescoes’ and a Venetian bell tower.
We continue our walk to Kioni a fishing village on a foot path that has been paved with stone slabs. On our way you find a plateau with goat tracks and terraces, passing intriguing ruins, small chapel and ancient trees. Walking time about 3 hours and the difficulty is moderate.
