Trekking

The stunning trails of the Cyclades reveal spectacular views of the sea; the ancient trails on Amorgos Island wind through knife-edge topography, whitewashed mountain villages and carpets of wild flowers.

For long-distance trekking, try the Ionian island of Corfu. From the island’s southern tip to the mountainous north, the Corfu Trail passes 125 miles through the less-visited interior, taking in ancient monasteries and 1000-metre peaks.

On the island of Crete, trekking through the Samaria Gorge is a must, but be warned that the day-long hike can be strenuous during the summer heat-wave. For big mountains, venture inland to the White Mountains or the Idi range, home to Crete’s highest peak, Mount Ida (2,456m).
