Step foot into the sandals of Samurai on the ancient Nakasendo Trail from Tokyo to Kyoto or pay your respects with pilgrims at the shrines dotted along the Kumano Kodo Trail; whatever you do, don't turn down a hot thermal spring bath at a traditional ryokan or minshuku inn after a day spent walking in Japan - it's just what you do to rest, revive and reveal the swirling ghosts of the past.

Far from the madding coastal crowds lie almost deserted hiking routes, such as the Lycian Way from Fethiye to Antalya, which take Turkey walking vacations into the limestone peaks of Mt Olympos. Alternatively, opt for St Paul’s Trail into the hiking heartlands of Central Anatolia, following ancient Roman paths through the Taurus Mountains, with plenty of cool down options in river canyons and mountain lakes.

Where to go on a walking vacation
“Walking in the footsteps of St Francis in Umbria is the most perfect alternative to vacationing in Tuscany. And much better food too. Walking in Albania really is a step back in time, but unlike Umbria, you really don't want to go for the food.”
“Don’t overlook the Canary Islands for walking vacations. They are much more unspoilt that you would think.”
