What a wonderful hike! George was incredibly nice and knowledgeable; it was very cool to learn about the island and its history, take in its beautiful views, and have a good moderate physical challenge on my first day on Ios. George shared snacks, sun protection, saved my life from walking into a huge spiderweb with the accompanying huge spider(eek!) and was all around a very generous and gracious guide. It’s such a great way to experience the island and I would recommend it to everyone!George was absolutely fantastic. We went on a brilliant hike up through the mountain to the cheesery. George was a great guide setting a good pace and telling us stories of the island, showing traditional farming settlements and sharing incredible dried figs, bread and local treats along the way....
George was absolutely fantastic. We went on a brilliant hike up through the mountain to the cheesery. George was a great guide setting a good pace and telling us stories of the island, showing traditional farming settlements and sharing incredible dried figs, bread and local treats along the way. George even brought his drone and took some amazing footage. I cannot recommend this enough as a great way to see the island, hear some history and see the work of the George and the volunteers who have put in so much time to preserve the island pathways and history. A wonderful day!What a fabulous experience and one we will never forget. We are regular walkers (both age 53) so joined George for a 3 hour hike on our island hopping holiday to learn about Ios which we most definitely did.

What a fabulous experience and one we will never forget. We are regular walkers (both age 53) so joined George for a 3 hour hike on our island hopping holiday to learn about Ios which we most definitely did. We never stopped talking the whole time and learnt so much….won’t spoil the little extra treats along the way! This walk is a little challenging but George encouraged us all the way and thoroughly enjoyed the much needed exercise. Well done to George and volunteers who are doing a fantastic job keeping these trails open for the public with signposts and markings for ease of reference. Highly recommend this experience a must do if you are visiting IOS!George was great and has put so much time and effort into instating hiking routes on the island of Ios. I did the 2 hour hike to the lighthouse and felt completely comfortable and able despite not being much of a hiker. George brought food, a drone (!) to take pictures with and also showed me lot...
George was great and has put so much time and effort into instating hiking routes on the island of Ios. I did the 2 hour hike to the lighthouse and felt completely comfortable and able despite not being much of a hiker. George brought food, a drone (!) to take pictures with and also showed me lots of old photos of Ios and told me so much about the island and it’s history. Was such a pleasure and loved the little gift he gave me at the end!Fantastic trip of which we didn’t know what to expect. Experienced walkers as we are but this level was a very welcome surprise due to the amazing rocky landscape we were encompassing!! George is a truly passionate man and by the end of the trek you want to will him to finish anything he puts his...
Fantastic trip of which we didn’t know what to expect. Experienced walkers as we are but this level was a very welcome surprise due to the amazing rocky landscape we were encompassing!! George is a truly passionate man and by the end of the trek you want to will him to finish anything he puts his mind to. He is a great local man who with a history in the Greek military allows him to put his own navigational expertise to full use, he has personal links to IOS through family and wants to leave a legacy for generations to know what their island beholds. The route we took from the Port, to the archeological site, up the valley to a small church, eating local figs for sustanance, sharing information on why it was there, all new signage George had personally actioned to be fitted, where iOS was geographically in its area, the legends was believed things happened etc, etc, the man is knowledgeable and speaks great English. Help George see his visions through by supporting him and his very unselfish wishes for IOS. I’d definitely do another walk when returning.George was an excellent hiking guide! We hiked the Chora to Pyrgos trail, 16km return hike from the peak to Chora! George is an experienced guide and very knowledgeable of the geography and history of the region and the island of Ios.

George was an excellent hiking guide! We hiked the Chora to Pyrgos trail, 16km return hike from the peak to Chora! George is an experienced guide and very knowledgeable of the geography and history of the region and the island of Ios. He shared with us his passion for the natural and cultural landscape and stewardship of the island of Ios. We also got to sample some of the fine culinary treats that he shared with us while on our hike! It was a fun day! We would highly recommend George and Ios Paths on any hiking adventure on the island! Jim and Julie 🇨🇦
