  • Corfu – Self-Guided Hike: 8-Day Off-Season Walking Tour from Corfu Town with 4 Stages of the Corfu Trail 2020 (IKWS210I)
    AnnaHiking Active holidays in Greece www.annahiking.nl Ionian Islands – Corfu – self-guided hike: 8-day off-season walking tour from Corfu Town with 4 stages of the Corfu Trail 2020 (IKWS210I) Our hiking philosophy: active during the day, and in the afternoon a warm shower, a good meal and a comfortable bed in a small-scale accommodation. We invite you to join us! more information: www.annahiking.nl (31-3-2020) IKWS210I: Selection Corfu Trail off-season (8-day tour from one location) About AnnaHiking and the Corfu Trail In 1991 we visited Greece for the first time. Our love for the country, the culture, the climate, the food, the language and the Greek has grown ever since. We feel at home here and want to communicate this feeling to others. Most people are familiar with the Greek “islands with beautiful beaches”. Many islands also boast a splendid inland with historical paths, ideal for hiking. Corfu is such an island with much more on offer than beaches alone, and we’d love to introduce it to you. The Corfu Trail is only to be hiked as a trekking in May, June, September and October. The reason is the weather and availability of accommodation along the track. We’d like to offer you the possibility to walk some of the Trail also out of this season. This trip is organized by Aperghi Travel, our Greek colleagues on Corfu. They check and maintain the paths, arrange the (luggage) transfers and the on-site support. As self-guided hiker they’ll provide you with the route descriptions and all other necessary information.
