About Andros Routes 13

Andros Routes 13 is a 7.9 km hiking route in Aegean, Greece. It climbs roughly 340 m (1,115 ft) along the way. Most people take around 2 hr 10 min at a comfortable pace, plus stops. It sits firmly in moderate territory: enough climbing to feel like a proper day out, never enough to become a slog.

The coastline does the heavy lifting: cliff edges, coves and open horizon for most of the way.

Start and finish are in different places, which means public transport or a second car is part of the planning. The route is waymarked and marked on the ground with its own symbol, so navigation is straightforward in good visibility.

Summer here is hot and exposed, so the sensible season runs from autumn through to spring. The route is maintained by Andros Routes.

In short, Andros Routes 13 suits regular walkers who want a full day without technical ground. Dog access is not formally recorded here, so check locally before bringing one.

Tips from the trail

Early morning and late afternoon give the best light and the quietest paths.
Aim for october to may for the most reliable conditions.
Check the tide table if any part of the route runs along the beach.
Leave nothing behind, including fruit peel, and stay on the marked line to protect the ground either side.

Warnings

Cliff edges may be unfenced and undercut. Keep well back from the drop, especially in wind.

Safety

Emergency services in Greece are reached on 112. Tell someone your route and expected finish time before you set off, particularly if you are walking alone. Mobile coverage is generally usable along this route, but do not rely on it as your only plan. If the weather deteriorates, descending the way you came is almost always the safer option.

What to bring

Comfortable, broken-in hiking shoes or boots
Weatherproof jacket
At least 1.5 litres of water
Small first aid kit including blister plasters

Photography

Golden hour along the cliffs is the obvious call, and a slow shutter on the water at the base of the rocks adds movement. Take the shot on the way out. Conditions rarely improve by the time you come back past. A wide lens captures the scale, but a short telephoto is what turns a good view into a photograph.
