“Wonderful tour! Lea was excellent guide and was very patient with us non hikers!”
Join a local English-speaking mountain guide for a four-hour, 6-kilometer hike through Meteora’s lesser-known trails. You’ll visit Bandovas hermitages, the Ancient Monks’ Prison, and secret caves before watching sunset from the rocks. Pickup from Kalabaka or Kastraki is included.
“Fantastic walk and guide. The walk is not difficult. We really enjoyed it.”
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 😊”
From Kastraki, follow a three-hour afternoon trail to Meteora’s old hermit caves, the Holy Spirit cave chapel, St. George Mandilara, and a former monk prison. Guides such as Evan, Christos, Chris, and Even share local knowledge and adjust the pace, but uphill sections require good shoes and moderate fitness.
“Our sunset hike was an unforgettable experience. Even, our guide, was incredibly knowledgeable and shared so much about the area’s history, geography, and even rock climbing—something we didn’t expect but found really fascinating. We happened to be the only two on the hike, which made it feel even more special. Honestly, others are missing out—this tour deserves way more attention. The description doesn’t do it justice! It was definitely strenuous in parts, but completely worth it. The views from the top of Holy Spirit Rock were absolutely breathtaking—a spiritual experience in every sense of the word. While the sunset itself was muted by fog and haze, it still offered a…”
Join Manuela or another Hiking Rhodes guide for a 10km late-day walk near Monolithos. You’ll reach a foot-access-only red-sand bay, pause for a swim, then climb to 236m-high Monolithos Castle for sunset, sea views, snacks, and coffee.
“bellissima esperienza assolutamente consigliata, prezzo onestissimo . un grazie a Manuela ed Elisa”
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…”
Join George for a private three-hour evening hike from Liapades through olive groves, coastal paths, abandoned villas, Rovinia Beach, and Limni Beach. You will pause for a swim, learn about Corfu’s olive trees, walk old village lanes, and finish with sunset views over the Ionian Sea.
“We had an incredible hike with George which was definitely the highlight of our trip to Corfu. We started in the traditional hillside village of Liapades, winding our way along a picturesque trail through the trees with incredible views of the coastline and some gorgeous quiet beaches. George was so knowledgeable and really made it fun for us. A highlight was a (chilly!) swim at the deserted beach of Limni just below an abandoned villa, and watching the sunset from a rocky outcrop. 10/10 would recommend.”
Join NomadsPath for a 2.5 to 3-hour sunset hike on Mount Hymettus. Walk pine forest trails, visit the ruins of Agios Marcos Frangomonastirio, and reach a city viewpoint for sunset. Guides including Dimitris, Michalis, Michael, and Konstantinos lead small groups at a steady pace.
“Fantastic trip. Our guide Konstantinos very knowledgeable with the terrain. Would recommend this to anyone who enjoys hiking and wants to get out of the city.”
Leave Athens for a gentle sunset walk on Mount Hymettus with an English-speaking certified guide. You’ll follow pine-forest paths, learn about local plants and Greek history, and visit ruins of a 10th-century Byzantine church built over a fifth-century basilica. Groups are limited to 10.
“Our guide, Konstantinos, communicated with me a day ahead to confirm time and specific info for pick up. He was right on time. It was nice to take the short car ride and get out of the city for the evening. The hike was not difficult and Konstantinos stopped multiple times to point out different plants along the way and told us some history as well. He also took pictures of us at different locations which was very nice since we rarely get pictures with the whole family. The sunset was absolutely beautiful! The hike after the sunset to get back to the car was short and there was plenty…”
Walk 10 kilometers from Salakos up Mount Profitis Ilias, following an old mule track through cypress and Aleppo pine. Guide Elisa is known for mixing local history with humor. Expect a 500-meter climb, Villa de Vecchi, Greek snacks, and a sunset viewpoint.
“It was a great experience! Lovely vieuw and a wonderful guide. Very well known about the history and surroundings. Love to do this again!”
