Uncover the very best of this mesmerising Ionian island, from golden beaches with endless blue horizons, to lush cypress trees and dramatic mountain landscpaes. Follow scenic coastal paths and ancient mule tracks through traditional villages, exploring monasteries and colourful frescoes along the way. Climb Mount Pantokrator, Corfu’s highest peak, for sweeping island views, and enjoy refreshing swims in azure waters.
Along the way, you'll stay in charming seaside towns and Corfu’s oldest village, Old Perithia. This is a more relaxed alternative compared to the classic Corfu Trail, that still perfectly blends island life with rewarding hikes.
