With exciting mountain ranges, epic gorges and trail-lined Mediterranean islands, all littered with the ruins of an ancient civilisation, Greece is a winner for trekkers. On this page you will find the best walking tours in Greece, specially picked by Tourfind for UK travellers.

Greece Guided Hiking Holidays

On Crete, trekking tours can take you through the 11-mile Samaria Gorge, Europe’s longest and a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. Scenic walking tours may explore the coastline around the pretty town of Agia Roumeli, accessible only by foot or boat. There are also great mountain tours which include the island’s highest peak, Mount Ida.

Walking tours are the perfect way to explore many Greek Islands. The Corfu Trail is an excellent 111-mile route crossing the entire island. Look out for oddities like red British phone boxes, wander through the alleys of Old Town Corfu and stop for delicious food at local tavernas.

Walking Adventures in Greece

If adventure walking tours sound enticing, the Zagori region of Northern Greece is a dream for hiking, where the Pindus Mountains harbour ancient stone villages, as well as Vikos Gorge, the deepest canyon in the world relative to its width. This remote wilderness is also home to Moni Kipinas, a 13^th-century monastery built into a steep cliff face that easily rivals Meteora.

On historical walking tours in Greece you may trace famous footsteps, from the birthplace of Alexander the Great in Pella to the legendary battlefield site of Thermopylae.

Many hikers looking for a guided tour are attracted to Mount Olympus, the seat of Zeus, which is renowned for the beauty of its peaks and gorges, and for its rich biodiversity.

For those interested in a holiday closer to home, Tourfind has carefully selected group walking holidays in the UK, catering to solo travellers and over 50s.
