Description
The landscape and the journey
Gillian Price introduces Corfu’s olive groves, wooded hills, beaches and villages through day walks and a continuous south-to-north trail. Add walking to an island holiday or let a longer trek shape the entire journey.
Routes and itinerary options
The 22 day walks range from approximately 3.5 to 18 kilometres. The Corfu Trail covers around 150 kilometres in ten stages from Kavos to Agios Spyridonas. Village and coastal stops offer food and accommodation, with scope for shorter sections, rest days and walks from one base.
Maps and practical planning
Sketch maps and data cover distance, elevation, difficulty and time. Accommodation, food, buses, taxis, an English–Greek glossary and cultural, culinary and natural background support planning. Use the route information to compare stages, plan your stops and check practical arrangements before departure.
Choosing the right trip
Hills, surfaces and distances vary. Consider season, temperature, drinking water and shade rather than treating all island routes as equally easy. Choose an itinerary that fits your experience and available time, allowing flexibility for weather and local conditions.
