Join a small group of up to 10 on a family-friendly evening hike from Salakos to Profitis Ilias. Your guide, possibly Panos, leads you through pine, olive, and ilex trees to Italian-era hotels, Villa de Vecchi, and the summit church before sunset.
“Extraordinaire 😁😁😁. Cette randonnée était fabuleuse, notre guide Panos était tout simplement génial. Des paysages magnifiques et un coucher de soleil à couper le souffle. Un peu dur au début mais le reste est vraiment sympa. Un grand grand Merci à Panos 😊😊”
Join Manuela and a group of up to 10 for a four-hour hike near Monolithos. Walk down to a remote red-sand bay, pause by clear water, then climb to the 15th-century castle for sunset. Hotel pickup, hiking equipment, bottled water, and return transport are included.
“Our group was just me and my hubby with Manuela. Firstly we were picked up from our hotel. The drive to our starting point was ok. Then we hiked for about 9 km: down to a beautiful beach and then back up to Monolithos to see the sunset. The weather was hot but we had enough breaks to make sure we were hydrated. The beach was really nice. And the sunset was amazing. I recommend this but make sure you have good shoes and you are in relatively good shape. Hiking up and down mountains in hot weather is not for everyone. But we really enjoyed this!”
Join guide Yorgos, also listed as George or Iorgos, for a three-hour hike from Angelokastro through olive groves, Krini village, and a narrow donkey trail. Expect castle views, olive-oil insight, a small-group pace, water, a snack, and sunset wine. Hotel pickup is available from selected Corfu areas.
“A very highly recommended tour for anyone visiting Corfu. Yorgos was my guide, he was very knowledgeable about the Angelokastro, the olive trees and the donkey trails. The hike was not too difficult and the sunset and views were amazing. I chose the pick up tour, this made everything easy from start to finish, thank you 😊”
Join guide Yorgos for a 3.5-hour walk through Corfu’s olive groves, coastal paths, hidden coves, and 17th-century Liapades. Expect a homemade pastry, a swim stop at Limni Beach, olive-oil stories, photo breaks, and sunset views. Small groups keep the outing personal.
“Our guide was absolutely amazing!!! unfortunately can’t remember how to spell his name but he really went above and beyond. The hike itself was beautiful despite being a little bit challenging. Our guide made sure we saw all the best view points and gave us plenty of detail of the history of the area as well as great knowledge about our random questions. After the hike he also dropped us off at the best gyros place by our hotel, when our guide saw it was closed he tried to find us another place to eat to make sure we weren’t disappointed. We are extremely grateful for the extra effort and…”
