On 28 February 2021, a beautiful sunny day and as a farewell to winter, we organized the clearing of pathnumber 2, between Chora and Katapola.
This path follows the stream of Fonias and while descending, vegetation becomes denser. Although the route is quite popular, due to its central location and its small distance, it demands frequent clearing because of the vegetation, particularly in the areas of lower altitude, closer to the stream.
The small but energetic team of volunteers cleared a section of the path close to the area of Milies. In a next event, we will clear the connecting section between Milies and the stream,in order to facilitate the connection between route 2 and route 8, which continues towards Agia Varvara and Richti.
Many thanks to our volunteers!

The Mitato of Amorgos has been invited by the organization Dry Stone Canada and took part in the Festiposium 2025 which was held on Amherst Island in Lake Ontario, Canada, from 26 to 28 September 2025..
The Festiposium was a meeting opportunity for the members of the Association, friends of dry stone in general, as well as residents of Amherst Island, where the largest concentration of Irish type dry stone walls in Canadais found. Starting in 2015, the Dry Stone Canada team has realised more events on the island, with participants from other countries too, mainly Ireland, the UK and the USA. Through these events, free standing walls are restored, many of whom have been officially designated as dry stone heritage.
