Greece 8 days Grade: A/B
A hidden Greek gem - wonderful walking, remote villages, charming coastline, delicious food and a wealth of historic interest Evia is a walker's delight, with old stone paths connecting quaint villages tucked away on the slopes of the mountains. We visit Roman quarries and aqueducts, Byzantine churches and Frankish castles, and end the days swimming and snorkelling at deserted beaches and coves. Traditional tavernas and waterfront ouzo-meze shops make eating and drinking here a wonderful experience. A walk down the famous Dimosaris Gorge is perhaps the highlight of the week, ending at the coastal village of Kalliani. Our accommodation for the week is a friendly, family-run hotel in the pretty port of Karystos.
A unique combination of walks along stunning coastal paths, ancient mule tracks and through lush green gorges with time for relaxing on secluded beaches Crete's southwestern coast offers outstanding opportunities for walking in dramatic scenery, discovering remote coastal villages and exploring the legacies of previous civilisations. Travelling on foot, by local ferry and road we visit the spectacular gorges of the Lefka Ori Mountains, including the famous Samaria Gorge, and walk along the dramatic E4 coastal path. We stay in three contrasting locations, each with a unique style and ambience. We start in the small but lively seaside resort of Paleochora and then move on to the picturesque white and blue fishing village of Loutro. We finish the week in the charming old harbour town of Chania, with enough time to explore the old town and markets. Aradena Gorge to sea at Marmara.
