Where to walk in Greece
Many of our walking vacations in Greece, both small group and self guided, include island hopping, with public ferries, sailing boats or small ships taking passengers to islands both on and off the radar. Here, you can spend days hitting coastal and mountain trails, stopping for picnics or in traditional tavernas and hearing tales of myths and legends that give Greece much of its magic. Hop between the Cyclades Islands, which include Paros, Naxos and Santorini, or head to the Ionian Islands to explore Kefalonia, Lefkada and Ithaka, on foot.How tough are the tours?
This very much depends on the itinerary you choose, though, with a few exceptions, walking vacations in Greece are more about gentle discovery than tough trekking. On walking vacations in the Cyclades, for example, you may walk up to 10km a day, but this will be at a relaxed pace with few steep ascents, and with plenty of time to stop for a swim or to visit a local winery. In many cases, walks are optional, so you’re free to spend the day at the beach or reading in a cafe if you fancy a break from walking.You could also opt for a more adventurous trip – a week tackling the slopes of Mount Olympus, perhaps, or hiking Vikos-Aoos National Park, in northern Greece, walking up to eight hours a day and with some nights spent in simple mountain refuges.
Walking vacations tend to be a week long, but four-day trips, focusing on a single island such as Santorini, are a great short break option, and longer, 10 day to two-week trips, taking in several islands, are also available. In terms of kit, you’ll need walking shoes and perhaps poles, if your vacation includes walks on steep or rocky routes. Bring layers, for peeling off or putting on, as whatever the time of year, you could still experience daytime heat and evening chills.

What style are the tours
The majority of walking vacations in Greece are run as small group breaks, with a maximum of 16 people, and combine walking with cultural, culinary and water-bound exploration. Small groups are suited for walkers who like to make friends along the trail and you’ll have the added bonus of local knowledge from expert guides to help transform seemingly meaningless rocky ruins into fantastical folklore.You can also opt for a tailor made trip, allowing you greater flexibility with your itinerary. You could either travel with your own personal guide, or travel under your own steam on a self guided option. If you do the latter, you’ll follow a well designed itinerary and will be provided with local support and an information package, giving you all the necessary info on walking routes as well as on cultural, archaeological and natural sites of interest. Self guided walking vacations can also be run on a fly drive basis.
