Delve into myths and legends on a

walking holiday in Greece

With the ancient world ever present, walking holidays in Greece are a unique experience, and are an enjoyable way to visit the frescoed monasteries, ancient ruins and medieval castles which pepper the sun-drenched slopes. Pause as often as you like to admire it all – you’re not part of a group, and have no luggage to carry (we take care of that, along with providing route notes and ensuring the arrangements run like clockwork). So relax, and enjoy a walking holiday that's worth it.

The best walking in Greece

What makes our walking holidays in Greece special is that myths and legends come alive, thanks to the cultural information contained within your route notes. Highlights of our hotel-to-hotel walking holiday on Crete are the routes through the Samaria Gorge and to the ancient city of Lissos. In the Cyclades, you can enjoy an island-hopping adventure, while Corfu offers glorious sunsets to perfectly round off each day’s walk.

How we grade our walking holidays in Greece

Before you opt for one of our walking holidays in Greece, see our grading system below to be sure of choosing the right level. Our single-centre walking holiday in Crete is the easiest of our Greek walking holidays, while our inn-to-inn walking holiday in Crete caters well for keener walkers. If you’d prefer something in between, we recommend Corfu or the Cyclades.

Grade 1

Generally easy walking with few ascents / descents, but perhaps the occasional long day.
Grade 1-2

Easy-to-moderate walking with some ascents / descents, and occasional longer days.
Grade 2

Moderate walking on varied terrain, with some long days and regular ascents / descents.
Grade 2-3

Moderate-to-challenging walking on more rugged terrain with significant ascents / descents on most days. Compass skills may be required (check the individual holiday).
Grade 3

Challenging hikes, featuring long days with significant ascent / descent on challenging terrain. Compass skills may be required.
Flexible

Choice of easier or harder routes, so that you can tailor most days to your requirements.

Walking holidays in Greece, Inntravel style

Our walking holidays in Greece – in common with all Inntravel holidays – are based on three cornerstones: enchanting scenery; comfortable and genuinely welcoming hotels hand-picked by us; and traditional local cooking. Together, they make for the perfect walking holiday.

Comprehensive route notes

We take great pride in our route guides, updating them constantly so that you have the most current information and can enjoy the richest possible holiday experience. Walking at a pace that suits you, you can rely on them to steer you from A to B, and fill you in about places of interest and local culture along the way.
The advantage of independence

With Inntravel, unlike travelling with a group, you can stay in charming small hotels and set your own timetable each day. You’re also free to choose a start date that suits you, to extend your holiday if you wish, and to decide how to travel and from where – we’re happy to handle plane, ferry or train bookings for you.
