Travel Map

Day 1 Join trip in Liapades Beach

Our Corfu walking adventure starts in Liapades Beach, situated just below the traditional village of Liapades and surrounded by green hillsides. For those arriving in time, our tour leader will meet you in the hotel reception at 7 pm for a welcome meeting and the...

Day 2 Walk to Agios Georgios

First thing this morning, we'll negotiate a steep, fairly difficult ascent up to the old village of Lakones - with one of the best views in Europe. After close to a kilometre of unavoidable road, we'll head up on an old cobbled footpath towards the villages of Vistona...

Day 3 Walk to Rekini via traditional villages, bus to Roda

Today starts with another sharp climb from Agios Georgios to the village of Prinilas. We'll descend to the picturesque village of Pagi, from where tracks and a quiet road lead us through agricultural land alongside the Megapotamos River through Aspiotades to the spraw...

Day 4 Bus to Rekini, walk via Sokraki to Spartillas

Today, we'll take a local bus back to the Corfu Trail. Starting our walk from Rekini, we'll take the unmade road to Valanio, a village deep in the middle of nowhere, from where tracks funnel us up a deep valley. We'll follow a cobbled path to enter Sokraki, where the ...

Day 5 Walk to Agios Spyridon via the summit of Pantokrator

Today the real mountain terrain beckons. We'll transfer by bus back to Spartillas to begin our walk, which starts immediately with a steep mountain footpath, climbing a gully to a fantastic viewpoint at Taxiarchis Chapel - a ruin with fresco-covered walls. We'll ...

Day 6 Free day with optional walk to deserted village of Mengoulas or through the Erimitis Peninsulas to Kassiopi

Today is free to rest your legs and relax in the local area. If you'd rather keep going, there's an optional walk - a 15.5 kilometre/9.6 mile round trip from Kalami to Mengoulas or a 12 kilometre/7.5 mile walk through the unspoiled Erimitis Peninsula to the lovely seaside village of Kassiopi.

Meals Provided : Breakfast

Day 7 Bus to Corfu town and orientation walk

We'll return to Corfu Town's old port by bus this morning. This afternoon, our tour leader will accompany us on a walking orientation tour of the main points of interest in the marvellous Venetian town centre. There might be time to take a bus to the postcard-perfect ...

Day 8 Trip ends in Corfu Town

Our tour ends at our hotel in Corfu Town. There are no activities planned today, so you're free to depart at any time. If your flight is leaving later in the day, there are luggage storage facilities available at our hotel. If you'd like an airport transfer, you'll need to depart from Corfu International Airport (CFU), around a ten-minute drive from our hotel.
