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 a seaview, 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 walk to our final destination, 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 favour...
