点评:Just returned from a terrific hiking vacation with Kythnos Hiking Holiday. We had some beautiful hikes on mountainous terrain overlooking jaw dropping views. Or guide was Molly. She lives on the island and gave us wonderful information on the places we were visiting, especially all of the tiny churches that dot the mountains. The highlight for me was of the hike to Oria Castle, perched high on the mountain accessible by a winding rocky trail.
Our stay was in Filoxomenia Apt Studios. The hotel is charming and very comfortable. We had the nicest balcony that overlooked gardens and the tops of the mountains.
Dinning was an experience. We ate at a different tavernas every night. The food is delicious, seasonal, and so healthy. Every night we started with a Greek Salad. Everyone was so friendly and hospitable. Nigel had promised us a fish night dinner and did not stop until he heard from the restaurant. There would be fresh snapper waiting for us in Merihas. A van for the group was arranged to get us to the port town.
Take heed of their recommendations: Wear long pants to avoid scratching yourself on the prickly bushes lining the trails. There is no trail maintenance and bushes are overgrown. I used hiking poles and found them to be very helpful as there are many ascents and descents on rocky trails. I wore hiking boots and glad I did for the traction they provided. Pack plenty of water as it can get hot and trails are not sheltered. By the afternoon, I had put away 40 plus ounces of water. On some of the hikes, there were no places to purchase water. NIgel is always on call. In the event of bad weather or if a hiker can't finish, he is a phone call away. If he can't make it, a taxi is called.
Finally, don't forget to pack your bathing suit and small towel. In the middle of the hikes we were rewarded with visits to secluded beaches for a refresing swim, The waters are calm and oh so clear. Bring a plastic bag to carry your wet suit in. Keep an empty bottle of water and fill it up with ocean water to rinse of the sand. You'll change behind the canopies of pine trees, just like the locals.
翻译:刚刚从基斯诺斯远足假期 (Kythnos Hiking Holiday) 度过了一次愉快的远足假期。我们在山区进行了一些美丽的徒步旅行,俯瞰着令人惊叹的景色。或者导游是莫莉。她住在岛上,为我们提供了有关我们所参观的地方的精彩信息,尤其是散布在山上的所有小教堂。对我来说最精彩的是徒步前往奥里亚城堡,这座城堡坐落在高山上,可通过蜿蜒的岩石小径到达。
我们住在 Filoxomenia Apt Studios。这家酒店很迷人而且非常舒适。我们有最好的阳台,可以俯瞰花园和山顶。
用餐是一种体验。我们每晚都在不同的小酒馆吃饭。食物很美味,时令的,而且非常健康。每天晚上我们都以希腊沙拉开始。每个人都非常友好和好客。奈杰尔答应我们晚上吃一顿鱼晚餐,直到收到餐厅的消息才停下来。梅里哈斯会有新鲜的鲷鱼在等着我们。为该团体安排了一辆面包车带我们前往港口城镇。
请留意他们的建议:穿长裤,以免被小径旁的多刺灌木丛划伤。没有步道维护,灌木丛杂草丛生。我使用了登山杖,发现它们非常有帮助,因为在岩石小路上有很多上坡和下坡的地方。我穿着登山靴,很高兴我这么做了,因为它们提供了牵引力。请携带充足的水,因为天气可能会很热,而且步道没有遮蔽。到下午,我已经储存了 40 多盎司的水。在一些徒步旅行中,没有地方可以购买水。 NIgel 随时待命。如果天气恶劣或者徒步旅行者无法完成徒步旅行,只需一个电话即可联系他。如果他无法赶到,就会叫出租车。
最后,别忘了带上你的泳衣和小毛巾。在徒步旅行的过程中,我们得到了奖励,参观了僻静的海滩,进行了一次清爽的游泳,海水很平静,而且很清澈。带一个塑料袋来装潜水衣。保留一个空瓶水并装满海水以冲洗沙子。您将像当地人一样在松树荫下换衣服。
