October brings ideal conditions for walking on the Greek islands of Corfu and Crete, promising both pleasant temperatures and tranquillity. Choose
Corfu for moderate walking through the olives, cypresses, maritime pines and holm oaks above the island’s enchanting west coast (whose sunsets are sublime), or, for more demanding walking, head to
Crete, where splendid Minoan palaces, Venetian mansions and forts, frescoed monasteries and ancient cities vie with the panoramic trails for your attention.
