Hiking Trail ALBA is a rewarding yet demanding route with significant elevation changes. It stretches from the eastern coastline, passing the wetland and stunning beach of Vitali, up to the lush mountainous village of Amolochos (800m altitude). The route traverses the agricultural area of Livadeza before returning through the fertile valley and settlement of Vitali.
The breathtaking mountain views, pristine beach, lush ravine, stone bridge, and traditional watermill, combined with the charming rural villages of Amolochos, Vitali, and Livadeza, make this trail a unique journey through Andros’ diverse landscapes and rich agricultural heritage.
