Walking and Hiking Holidays in Greece

Our Greece walking tours reveal the country's remarkable diversity beyond the famous islands. Trek through the dramatic Samaria Gorge in Crete, Europe's longest gorge, where wild goats cling to vertical cliffs and rare flowers bloom in rocky crevices. Explore the untouched Mani Peninsula, where Byzantine churches dot the landscape and tower houses speak of turbulent histories. Discover the emerald mountains of Halkidiki, still relatively unknown to foreign visitors, where forest paths lead to hidden monasteries and deserted beaches.

Island-hop through Greece's spectacular archipelagos on foot. Walk ancient kalderimi (cobbled mule paths) that connect hilltop villages on Tinos and Andros, far from the tourist crowds. Follow coastal paths on Kefalonia past turquoise coves accessible only by foot. On Rhodes, combine Knights' medieval heritage with walks through pine forests to archaeological sites where ancient Greeks once worshipped.

Experience authentic Greek hospitality throughout your journey. Stay in family-run hotels where breakfast features local honey and homemade yoghurt, pause for lunch in tavernas where the day's catch determines the menu, and end walking days with mezze spreads under plane trees in village squares. From fresh feta drizzled with olive oil to grilled octopus by the harbour, every meal celebrates Greece's culinary traditions.

 Expert Local Knowledge

Our experienced guides bring Greece's rich heritage to life on every walk. They'll share myths and legends tied to the landscapes, explain Byzantine frescoes in trailside chapels, and help you identify the wild herbs crushed beneath your boots. From recommending the best family tavernas to knowing where spring flowers bloom first, their insights transform good walks into unforgettable journeys.

Accommodation & Dining

Stay in carefully chosen accommodation that showcases Greek hospitality, from traditional guesthouses in mountain villages to comfortable hotels overlooking azure seas. We select properties known for warm welcome and authentic character. Evening meals feature regional specialities - perhaps fresh seafood on the islands or hearty mountain fare inland - always accompanied by local wine and genuine Greek philoxenia (love of strangers).

Luggage Transfers

On our multi-day walking holidays in Greece, we arrange seamless luggage transfers between accommodations. Trek ancient paths with just a light daypack containing water and sun protection while your main luggage travels ahead. This allows you to tackle challenging gorge descents or long coastal walks without carrying heavy bags under the Mediterranean sun.
