On this unique Greek walking adventure, we’ve paired the sandy beaches and archaeological treasures of the Peloponnese Peninsula with the lofty monasteries of Meteora. Explore stunning seaside mountains at the 7th-century Acropolis of Corinth and enjoy lunch at Sykia Beach. Ride the cog rail through the dramatic canyons of Vouraikos Gorge to the seaside village of Diakopto—then travel to the mainland for an adventure along the slopes of Mount Parnassus. In the company of our knowledgeable leaders, explore the Temple of Apollo at Delphi and meet a local friend for a wine tasting at her nearby estate. Journey to Kastraki and climb the stone steps to the Holy Trinity Monastery—erected on an imposing rocky pinnacle in the 14th-century. For a delicious taste of the Greek islands, add an Independent Post-Tour Extra Experience to the magical island of Santorini. Simply unforgettable!
Tour Highlights
- Hike among the medieval monasteries of Meteora, the astonishing UNESCO World Heritage site of sacred sanctuaries perched on towering sandstone pillars.
- Explore the archaeological site of Delphi, taking in its ancient ruins and magnificent mountain setting.
- Enjoy a refreshing Mythos beer in Galaxidi, once a thriving maritime community, then stroll cobbled streets past pretty 19th-century sea captains’ stone houses.
- Follow footpaths in and around Acrocorinth, one of the finest surviving fortifications in Greece, and gaze upon panoramas of the Isthmus of Corinth.
- Take a historic cog railway journey through the Vouraikos Gorge—into the deep-cut canyon past roaring waterfalls and through tunnels burrowed into mountainsides, with spectacular views of dramatic landscapes all around.
Overall the trip was fantastic! Our two guides were knowledgeable about the history, mythology, geography, cuisine, wine, and flora and fauna of the areas we hiked. They were beyond helpful and just a joy to be with. This was my first Country Walkers tour and I think it could not have been better. I will be going with this company again.
