About this trip
This is an 8-day walking trip through southern Corfu, covering ground from sleepy inland villages to golden beaches, with the pace set by your own feet rather than a coach.
You'll walk through vineyards and olive groves, follow old mule tracks up to hilltop villages and isolated monasteries, and stop at local tavernas for proper Greek food along the way.
It's a good match for anyone who wants to actually feel the island underfoot, with sea views built into most days and one proper climb thrown in.
What you'll do
- Wander the backstreets of Corfu Town's UNESCO-listed Old Town
- Follow mule tracks to hilltop villages and isolated monasteries
- Climb Agii Deka for views across the Mediterranean
- Walk through vineyards and shady olive groves between villages
- Stroll golden beaches along the southern coast
- Eat at local tavernas after the day's walking
- This covers the southern half of the island only — it can be combined with the North route for a full two-week crossing of Corfu
- Walking days include a proper climb (Agii Deka), so expect some sustained uphill sections
Worth it if you love walking through unspoilt countryside with a passionate guide. Think twice if you need comfortable accommodation throughout.
- Guide Spiros is genuinely exceptional—knowledgeable, caring, and passionate about protecting the trail and island ecology.
- May timing delivers masses of wild flowers and butterflies, olive grove walks, swimming in clear sea, and quiet villages untouched by tourism.
- Some accommodation is very basic, though offset by stunning locations and friendly local welcomes.
- Weather dependent; wet spring increases wildlife but unusually good May weather mentioned as fortunate, not guaranteed.
