Avlona to Ancient Vroukounta Hike

The demanding trail beyond Avlona leads toward ancient Vroukounta and the cave chapel of Agios Ioannis on Karpathos's remote northern coast.

Our take

The demanding trail beyond Avlona leads toward ancient Vroukounta and the cave chapel of Agios Ioannis on Karpathos's remote northern coast.

The demanding trail beyond Avlona leads toward ancient Vroukounta and the cave chapel of Agios Ioannis on Karpathos's remote northern coast. Use current mapped guidance or a local leader; distance, heat and lack of services make casual exploration unsafe. Carry substantial water, food and a torch, and understand festival access separately from ordinary days. Archaeological remains and the cave chapel require respectful, non-invasive behaviour.
