Walking and Trekking on Corfu : The Corfu Trail and 22 day-walks

The greenest and most accessible of the Greek islands, Corfu offers a laid-back atmosphere, traditional villages, and mile upon mile of well-waymarked paths through olive groves, wooded hills, golden beaches, and wildflower meadows. The Corfu Trail is described in 10 graded stages, crossing the island from south to north and ending each day in a Corfiot village or at a beach with local accommodation and taverna dining. The 22 day walks (3.5–18km/2–5 hours) explore scenic coastal paths, lush wooded hills, and tranquil mountain villages, with flexible itineraries allowing rest days on golden beaches or in charming inland towns. Clear route descriptions, sketch maps, and practical information cover distance, elevation, grade, and walking time for every route, along with local transport options, accommodation listings, and an English–Greek glossary for smooth travel. Local insights introduce Corfu's ancient ruins, Greek cuisine, wildflowers, wildlife, and the island's famously warm hospitality. Whether you have a weekend or a full-length trekking holiday, this guide helps you make the most of your time on Corfu. The best walking season runs from May to October, when the weather is ideal and the island bursts with colour and culture.
