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. In the true spirit of a Slow holiday, break 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 don’t rush…

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.

If you’d prefer something in between, we recommend Corfu or the Cyclades.
