Hiking Tour — Ikaria, Greece
Hike to Alama Waterfalls: Evdilos to Akamatra Trail
Through mountain villages, hidden springs, and panoramic landscapes on the island of Ikaria.
This Ikaria hiking trail to Alama Waterfalls takes you through some of the island's most rewarding terrain, connecting the port town of Evdilos with the traditional villages of Droutsoula and Akamatra on a circular route filled with natural and cultural highlights.
The trail passes through dense vegetation, rocky hillside paths, and the refreshing spring area around the Alama falls — a natural landmark rarely visited by casual tourists. The route is rated moderate, meaning it rewards hikers with a genuine sense of accomplishment without requiring technical skills.
At Akamatra, the walk pauses for a well-earned rest at the village's old square, where a traditional coffee and a slice of pita pie ground the experience in authentic island life. The return to Evdilos follows a different path, offering a fresh perspective on the landscape you have already crossed.
