If you are a nature lover, hiker, or simply enjoy walking and seeking amazing views, Corfu Island is home to the popular Corfu hiking trail which cross the entire island from north to south.
Corfu trail stretches to a 180km long hike and cross many villages which you can use them for an overnight.
You will need normally around 9 days to complete the trail but that’s upon your fitness level and your experience.
Of course, you can easily find a variety of beautiful short or longer walking trails in the island that suit your needs.
Delion Sanctuary of Apollo in Parikia, the Byzantine road to Lefkes, or the
environmental park of Paros, you have plenty to choose from!
Remember that activities are recommended during the off-season or the low season. If you’re hiking during the peak season—the warmer months—it’s important to be prepared with a hat, sunscreen, and plenty of water.
Imagine yourself on an adventure through lush green landscapes, conquering steep inclines and rugged mountain paths, passing by stone-built white houses and chapels with a view of the Ionian Sea.
Corfu island is considered a top hiking destination in Greece, and if you are a nature lover, you will not regret the trip.
