Top of Kalovoulos Mountain - Path Two (2)

Path Two (2) is passable, well-marked, and easy to follow. Covering 180 meters of altitude difference, this is a tiring but enjoyable climb to the top of Kalovoulos Mountain, west of Chora (Alonissos). From Chora, after the settlement’s cemetery, we head toward Mikros Mourtias. At the beginning of the road, we will see a sign on our right that points toward Kalovoulos. The total route is 1,600 meters long, and it takes less than 45 minutes. From the halfway point onward, there is a gorgeous panoramic view of Chora behind us. Once we get to the stone ruins, we follow the red markers to the right for another 100 meters to reach the top (325 meters altitude). There we will also find the typical cement triangulation pillar. A little lower, to our left (to the west), there is a square wooden gazebo (one of many on the island) with a bench, table, and beautiful view looking west toward Skopelos. The best time for the ascent is one hour before sunset.
