Walking Holidays in Greece

Encounter the stunning beauty of the Greek islands and peninsulas during one of our walking holidays in Greece. Whether you're a history buff or a nature lover, walking in Greece will give you the opportunity to visit picture-perfect villages, sun-soaked beaches, and ancient monuments and ruins. Choose to trek through the mountains and villages of Evia or hop from island to island exploring Naxos, Santorini, and Paros.

We head to various lesser-known locations where the locals love to holiday, so you can be assured of an authentic Greek experience. Tour the historic landscapes enjoying excursions to ancient sites, and stroll through wildflower valleys, taking your time to enjoy the views. Visits to the Roman quarries and aqueducts of Evia are a must, and a city tour of Athens will satisfy the appetite of any history lovers. During the summer months, our guided walking holidays in Greece provide ample opportunity for you to take a dip in the azure waters of the hidden coves and secluded beaches on the beautiful Greek islands.

Greek walking holidays let you soak up the local culture at picturesque eateries and portside markets. You can sample the local cuisine of olives, fresh fruit, and freshly caught seafood at charming tavernas that boast ocean views.

Our walking holidays in Greece include various activities and excursions, accommodation, and some of your meals.

What can I see on my Greek walking holiday?

From island-hopping, dipping in the ocean, and marvelling at the ingenuity of ancient structures in Greece, we can help you pack memorable experiences into your trip. We've hand-picked a great range of locations and activities into our itineraries so you can enjoy every moment. Here are a few of the sights you may see on a walking tour in Greece depending on the trip you choose:

Santorini

Santorini is one of the most famous and romantic islands in the world. This unique volcanic island has picture-perfect white and blue houses that stand watch over the vivid, blue Mediterranean and its visiting cruise ships. To see the island's history for yourself, check out the archaeological site of Akrotiri, a city buried by a volcanic eruption in 1,500BC. Wander down to the black beaches of Kamari, formed by the volcanic materials which covered the island.

Evia

The island of Evia (also known as Euboea) is the second-largest Greek Island after Crete and is connected to the mainland by a small land bridge. By road, it is just over two hours' drive from Athens, meaning it's often convenient to combine the two into the same trip. The beauty of Evia is that it is not all that touristy, despite its breathtaking walks and historical sites.

Walk along the island's ancient corridor that leads to a remote, hidden beach, climb up Mount Ohi, and see the Roman quarries where green and white marble was mined. Meet the locals in the village of Lycorema and, of course, spend some time unwinding on the beach.

The Pelion Peninsula

The Pelion Peninsula is another of Greece's hidden gems, and the area in which the mythology of the centaurs stems from. Walk along white sandy beaches and stop for picnics and a dip in the water. Hike across the stone-paved paths in the mountains and stay in idyllic villages which overlook the Aegean Sea such as Tsagarada and Damouchari, one of the filming locations for Mamma Mia!.
