This guidebook to the Greek island of Corfu describes a selection of 22
superb day walks throughout the island, along with the 150km Corfu
Trail. The day walks range from 3.5 to 18km in length, and begin from a
number of popular holiday destinations across the island, including
Corfu Town (home of the Durrell family), Kalami, Paleokastritsa, Agios
Georgios north and south, Liapades and Benitses.
The 10-stage Corfu Trail starts near Kavos at the island's southernmost
tip and ends at Agios Spiridonas, its northerly promontory. The Corfu
Trail is suitable for both novice and experienced walkers, and can be
walked year round, however accommodation is easier to find between May
to October. The wide range of day walks provides a taste of the many
different landscapes of the island from coastal paths and beaches to
olive groves and wooded hills.
Alongside detailed route descriptions and clear maps, the guidebook has
notes on Corfu's plants and wildlife, food and drink, and useful advice
on travel to and around the island. It includes suggestions for where to
stay, as well as a glossary of useful expressions. Corfu is the greenest
of the Greek islands and one of the most accessible; the walks described
avoid the crowded resorts and allow you to experience the laidback
atmosphere and varied natural landscapes of this beautiful island.
