WORK: The municipality of Exomvourgo has an extended network of footpaths, spreading in a wide area, that have been signalled and chart–mapped by the Cyclades prefecture and the Municipality. Local and tourists ramblers often wander on this footpaths’ network for the extra reason that, due to the landscape, it is not possible, in most cases, to create routes for vehicles. Volunteers will work in order to clean and open some of the most important footpaths of the area of Falatado.
ACCOMMODATION & FOOD: Volunteers will be accommodated in Exomvourgo Primary school. There are toilets, showers (no hot water) and a kitchen. Sleeping bag and carry mat are necessary. Two of the group, everyday in shifts, will be responsible for maintaining the group’s accommodation place clean, as well as for the preparation of all the meals of the day for the rest of the group, with supplies that they will provide themselves from stores around the area.

Its surface covers about 195 m2 and it is smaller than Naxos and Andros. The Municipality of Exomvourgo has 35 villages, 30 of them are traditional and 5 onshore; covers the 2/3 of the island. It is the less developed area concerning tourism on the island; it is a mainly agricultural and semi–mountainous area, but it is the part of the island with the most beautiful sites, with inhabitants who like keeping traditions and customs. The structured scenery with the 30 traditional villages, the dovecotes, the culverts, the fountains, the mils, the small chapels, the museums compose a site of great interest for the sight-seer tourist and a lovely and sacred place for the local inhabitants. Τhis workcamp will take place in Falatado, one of the oldest villages on the island. The marble made church of Saint John is a true adornment for the village. Lot of old wine presses are preserved in the village as well as a Folklore Museum.

WORK: The municipality of Andros has an extended network of footpaths, spreading in a wide area, that have been signalled and chart – mapped by the Cyclades prefecture and the Municipality. Local and tourists ramblers often wander in this footpaths’ network for the extra reason that, due to the landscape, it is not possible, in most cases, to create routes for vehicles. Volunteers will work under the guidance of locals in order to clean, conserve, renew the signals and, generally, to highlight some of the most important footpaths of old times, which used to be the main routes of communication among the villages and ports of the island.
ACCOMMODATION & FOOD: Volunteers will be accommodated in Chora’s (the capital of the island) High School. There are toilets, showers (no hot water) and a kitchen. Sleeping bag and carry mat are necessary. Two of the group, everyday in shifts, will be responsible for maintaining the group’s accommodation place clean, as well as for the preparation of all the meals of the day for the rest of the group, with supplies that they will provide themselves from stores around the area.
LOCATION: Andros is the northern island of the Cyclades complex, a little smaller than Naxos. Its surface covers 380 m2. The trip to the island from the port of Rafina (around 1 & 1/5 from Athens) lasts about 2 hours. Visitors arrive at the port of Gavrio and need 36 km in order to reach the capital, Chora. Chora was built on a peninsula and ends up in a small island, on which there is still a medieval fortress. This small island is separated from the peninsula by a narrow sea strip, 2- 3 m wide and its communication to the land is achieved through a stone made culvert. The central avenue of Chora leads to the sea and the large central square of the Back-room Macker, where stands the homonymic statue, done by a famous sculptor, Michael Tombros. Chora is an aesthetically impressive city and combines the beauties of the old city and its narrow stone made alleys, with the new city of imposing stately homes, built during the previous century, while seafaring in the island reached its peak.
