We track 99 routes that match this search in Aegean. They average 8.1 km and 336 m (1,102 ft) of ascent.

That is 40 percent of the 248 routes we map in Aegean. They run noticeably longer than average for the area, 8.1 km against 5.4 km, so budget more daylight than a typical outing here. The climbing is steeper too: 336 m (1,102 ft) on average versus 192 m (630 ft) across the wider area.

Moderate routes are the sweet spot for most regular walkers: enough climbing to feel like a proper day out, never enough to turn into an ordeal. These lean toward the demanding end, so plan for a full day and check the forecast before you commit.
