What they said about the Corfu Trail

"I walked the Corfu Trail in early May [2025] with my long time friend and I just wanted to write and tell you how much we enjoyed our experience. I live on the island for half the year and whilst I know our area (Halikounas) reasonably well, walking the length of the island really opened my eyes afresh to its incredible beauty in a way that I found very moving - especially given the wild flowers were in full bloom. The Narratour App was simply amazing, making our navigating super easy. THANK YOU so very much for this delightful walking experience - I can't wait to do it again!"
Jane Pyrgos

"How to discover authentic glimpses of Gerry Durrell’s childhood paradise? I found the answer in a hike: the 110 or so miles of the Corfu Trail, which traverses the island from south to north, winding inland to visit settlements little touched by tourism. The route stitches together stretches of stony tracks, sandy paths and forest trails, cobbled kalderimi (traditional donkey paths), concrete and asphalt, linking scenic, cultural and culinary highlights."
Paul Bloomfield, Daily Telegraph

"Ever since I first read about the Corfu Trail in 2014, it had been on my bucket list. I love the Corfu Trail for its diverse landscapes and trails. Within the first 15 kilometres, you get a real taste of what’s to come, roads, forests, beaches, and olive groves. Along the way, there are countless stunning views, and more often than not, you have them all to yourself! So in April 2025, I hiked the Trail for the third time, and I’m still blown away by the beauty of Corfu!"
Bert Luykx

"The island seems deserted; you hardly meet any people for hours except for trekkers and local farmers and shepherds... What a stunning holiday - one of the best ever. The guide book of the Corfu Trail was brilliant and the well-marked trail challenging - but we did it."
David Carabott, Independent of Malta

"This trail... escapes the fleshpot resorts and transports you into a sleepy hinterland of crumbling monasteries and secret hamlets - the Corfu made famous by Gerald Durrell, the one that British visitors originally fell in love with."
Vincent Crump, The Sunday Times

"The Corfu Trail... taking in lyrical scenery and pretty old villages."
Dana Faracos, Sunday Times Travel Magazine

"The Corfu Trail... skips the spoilt bits and sticks to the ancient landscape of olive groves, vineyards, whitewashed monasteries and blue lagoons."
Stephen Bleach, The Sunday Times

"Mostly blue skies, bright blue crystal clear water, white, terracotta and pastel coloured buildings draped with masses of bougainvillea, a lot of sun, a lot of Mythos (Greek beer), a lot of retsina, great group of companions and an excellent leader... what a terrific trip."

"I could not believe, on this island that we heard was so developed, that we could walk for nine days and see nothing but nature."
Walker from Latvia

"[A] journey that takes in a diverse range of locations, from the environmentally significant, such as the wildlife sanctuary of Lake Korission, to architectural treasures such as the Byzantine castle of Angelokastro … Since it opened officially in 2001, word has spread, and it is beginning to draw ‘distance’ hikers from around the world."
Mark MacKenzie, Independent on Sunday

"Despite some bad weather, and occasional difficult footpaths, we really enjoyed walking the Corfu Trail. The mix of scenery (coastal, mountains, rural villages) makes Corfu a good place for a walking holiday."
Ian and Sandie Schagen

"Maybe you should put a warning on your site that hiking the Corfu Trail is addictive. I hiked it in 2018 and in 2022 and now I want to hike it again in 2025."
Bert Luykx

"This trail has introduced me to a side of Corfu I didn't know, and I love it. It has been a wonderful time and I would like to thank you and the team for making this possible. The paths are well kept and the signs are everywhere, people are friendly and the food is so good. The guide has proved very valuable. I will definitely recommend this trail to friends and family."
