Itinerary
Our Greek walking adventure begins in Corfu Town (Kerkyra), one of Greece's most elegant island capitals thanks to its cobblestone streets, Venetian architecture, and pastel-hued buildings. For those arriving in time, our tour leader will meet you in the hotel re...
This morning, we'll leave Corfu Town behind, driving south. Our hike starts just south of Kavos and we'll head out on a track that leads to the southern tip of the island where the ruined monastery of Arkoudillas stands. After marvelling at the ruins, we'll follow the...
We'll be putting our walking shoes to the test today with a longer 23 kilometre/14.2 mile walk to Santa Barbara, crossing the southern part of the island to the east and heading back to the western coast. From Asprokavos, we'll follow a track around a peaceful la...
Today's trail is mostly level, taking us along a path that follows the curvature of the beach. We'll be led through sand dunes covered with cedar trees before crossing a footbridge to reach Lake Korission. Our trail then follows tracks and sections of roads to reach P...
After breakfast with sea view, we'll push on to Benitses. A sharp climb early in our walk will take us over the coastal ridge with views out onto the water and inland to the villages of Ano and Kato Payliana. Footpaths and tracks then take us down through Vouniatades ...
From Benitses we'll take a bus back to Stavros, and our walk continues with a delightful footpath skirting the Agii Deka Mountain, before we make a very sharp ascent to the summit of Agii Deka, Corfu's second highest alone-standing peak. Here, an abandoned monastery i...
Today, we'll take on the walk to Liapades. We'll take the bus to Pelekas, where we'll start our walk with a half-hour descent to Myrtiotissa - known as 'the loveliest beach in the world' the beach was one of the Durrell family's favourites and is now favoured by nudis...
Today is free for you to explore more at your own pace. Situated below the traditional village of Liapades and surrounded by green hillsides, Liapades Beach has a sand and shingle beach as well as a handful of cafes and restaurants. The beautiful beach of Rovinia is j...
First thing this morning, we'll negotiate a steep, fairly difficult ascent up to the old village of Lakones- with one of the best views in Europe. After close to a kilometre of unavoidable road, we'll head up on an old cobbled footpath towards the villages of Vistonas...
Today starts with another sharp climb from Agios Georgios to the village of Prinilas. We'll descend to the picturesque village of Pagi, from where tracks and a quiet road lead us through agricultural land alongside the Megapotamos River through Aspiotades to the spraw...
Today, we'll take a local bus back to the Corfu Trail. Starting our walk from Rekini, we'll take the unmade road to Valanio, a village deep in the middle of nowhere, from where tracks funnel us up a deep valley. We'll follow a cobbled path to enter Sokraki, where the ...
Today the real mountain terrain beckons. We'll transfer by bus back to Spartillas to begin our walk, which starts immediately with a steep mountain footpath, climbing a gully to a fantastic viewpoint at Taxiarchis Chapel - a ruin with fresco-covered walls. We'll ...
Today is free to rest your legs and relax in the local area. If you'd rather keep going, there's an optional walk - a 15.5 kilometre/9.6 mile round trip from Kalami to Mengoulas or a 12 kilometre/7.4 mile walk through the unspoiled Erimitis Peninsula to the lovely seaside village of Kassiopi.
Meals Provided : Breakfast
We'll return to Corfu Town's old port by bus this morning. This afternoon, our tour leader will accompany us on a walking orientation tour of the main points of interest in the marvellous Venetian town centre. There might be time to take a bus to the postcard-perfect ...
