Welcome to Hooked on Walking holidays and our walking holidays in Greece. This particular hiking vacation is a self guided walking tour which will show you the highlights of the Corfu Trail. The Corfu Trail is a walking route on the Ionian Island of Corfu in Greece. The Island of Corfu has some spectacular natural beauty. You can explore Corfu Town with its maze of streets lined with alfresco cafes, markets and Byzantine buildings.

During this walking tour you will take a short stay on another Ionian Island, Paxos. It has remained very authentic and picturesque, featuring Venetian architecture, white beaches, clear blue waters and lustrous vegetation. Coming back from Paxos, you will wander amidst wild flowers on the slope of Mount Pantokrator in the very north of Corfu, admiring the stunning views over Albania.
