Do you have questions about this tour?

Hiking enthusiasts and nature lovers will find a true paradise on the Greek island of Corfu. Rugged mountain landscapes and lush green vegetation give the small island in the Ionian Sea its unique character. Due to its location between Greece and Italy, the inhabitants of Corfu can look back on a particularly rich and fascinating cultural heritage: both the ancient Greeks, the Romans, the Crusaders, but also the British and French have left their mark over the course of history. Particularly impressive, however, is the centuries-long rule of the Venetians, whose pastel-coloured houses with their colourful roofs and winding medieval alleys still characterise the unmistakable image of the small towns and villages today. Whether on the coast or in the interior, Corfu is a great place to hike at any time of the year. Fantastic beaches, knotty olive trees and the warmth of the locals will make your trip an unforgettable experience.

Whether on the coast or in the countryside, Corfu is perfect for hiking all year round. Dreamy beaches, shady olive groves and the warmth of the locals make the holiday here an unforgettable experience. From the capital of the same name, Corfu, you travel on a hiking route through the Ropa Valley in the village of Liapades, then to Agios Georgios Pagon and on to Sokraki, to the historical village of Old Perithia and finally to Kassiopi in the northeast of the island. The island in the Ionian Sea is marked by a long history from Greeks, Venetians and Romans and is home to numerous impressive cultural sites. On our eight-day walking tour you will stay in typical hotels and accommodation. In the evening, you can look forward to the wonderful Mediterranean island cuisine.

  • Turquoise blue time out by the sea: The countless beaches and idyllic hiking paths offer the perfect opportunity for a hiking break in the deep blue sea.
  • Fresh island cuisine: On your hiking tour you must try the typical specialties from Corfu, whether that is veal sofrito, boiled chicken pastitsada, boiled scorpion fish bourdetto, fried sheep's cheese saganaki or the local kumquats, a typical trademark of the island.
  • Wandering through the town of Corfu: Right at the start of your hiking tour you have the opportunity to get to know the islands capital. The UNESCO World Heritage Site is well known for its Venetian architecture in beautiful pastel colours and charming alleyways. Also visit the old harbour, the promenade "Nikiforou Theotki" or the town square.

Our hiking tour on Corfu is classified as a 'Mountain Hiking'. With a good basic level of fitness and surefootedness the daily stages will become a wonderful break on the picturesque Greek island. We recommend sturdy shoes and surefootedness for the rocky hiking paths.

Itinerary at a glance

On Corfu, you'll discover the legacy of the ancient Greeks and Romans. In the island's capital, visit the charming harbour and the bustling promenade. Hiking by the sea and culinary delights – what more could you ask for!

Welcome to Corfu! Make the most of your arrival day to wind down and get in the mood for a varied week of hiking, whilst soaking up the Mediterranean atmosphere.

A short transfer to the small harbour village of Vatos in the center of the island of Corfu. From here, you’ll first hike through the Ropa Valley before the Corfu Trail leads you up to the picturesque village of Giannades. Shady olive groves line the path high above the west coast all the way to the ancient village of Liapades, where the stunning sandy beach invites you to take a refreshing dip in the sea.

Today’s stage begins at the beach and follows old shepherds’ paths to the village of Lakones. From here, you can enjoy a beautiful view of the turquoise waters and the bays of Paleokastritsa. Take the opportunity to make a short detour to the ruins of a Byzantine castle before the trail leads you back down to the sea and the long sandy beach of Agios Georgios Pagon.

First, the route leads uphill towards the inland villages of Prinilas and Paghi. Through fertile valleys, you'll follow the Corfu Trail further into the center of the island, passing historic hamlets and a convent with its beautifully frescoed church. In Rekini, you'll cross the river and continue uphill to the villages of Valanio and Sokraki, hidden among the rocky ridges.

The first part of the hike begins on flat terrain through gnarled forests and green valleys all the way to Spartilas. You’ll follow an old footpath uphill to the magnificent view at the Taxiarchis Chapel. Crossing a karst plateau, you’ll ascend to the summit of Pantokrator, Corfu’s highest mountain at 917 m. Enjoy the view before descending to the historic ruined village of Old Perithia.

The route leads you down a beautiful trail through pristine oak forests, heading steadily towards the sea until you reach the north coast at Almiros Beach and the northern end of the Corfu Trail at Agios Spiridon. A short bus or taxi ride will take you to Kassiopi, where you will be staying tonight.

The Erimitis headland in the north-east of the island, near the Albanian border, is a true paradise for all nature lovers and the setting for your final hike. Winding footpaths lead to hidden coves, crystal-clear waters, and unspoilt wetlands that serve as nesting grounds and refuges for all kinds of birds. You’ll walk along the coast to the village of Kalami, from where you can take the local bus back to Kassiopi and enjoy a relaxing end to the evening.
