Why choose a walking holiday in Greece?

Delve into myths and legends

With the ancient world ever present, self-guided 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.

Where to go 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 are our walking holidays graded?

Before choosing 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 hotel-to-hotel walking holiday on the same island caters well for keener walkers. If you’d prefer something in between, we recommend Corfu or the Cyclades.
  • Our single-centre walking holiday on Crete promises a wide choice of ways to explore the island's beautiful western side. You don't have to be a seasoned hiker to take on our suggested routes – which range from gentle strolls of approximately 5km to more rewarding walks of over 10km – but there are definitely options to interest keener hikers, too, including a foray into the famed Samaria Gorge. You'll also have the option to explore by car, and to visit Chania's fascinating Old Town.
  • Expect to cover approximately 10-15km a day on our walking holidays in Corfu and the Cyclades, and to take in a real variety of terrain. In Corfu, you'll walk on ancient coastal paths, traverse wooded nature reserves, and climb through olive groves to pretty villages, while on the Cyclades, inviting paths lead along sandy beaches to secluded bays, and follow cobbled mule trails across rugged hills for superb, far-reaching views.
  • Highly rewarding coastal walks are the essence of our hotel-to-hotel walking holiday on Crete. As you make your way along the island's south-west coast, you'll walk on panoramic mountain trails, across sandy beaches, through dramatic gorges, and along winding coastal paths. The average distance is 13km per day, and significant ascent and descent are involved.
