Athens Trekking and Hiking Tours 2024/2025

“I really enjoyed the week on Evia in October, made all the more special by excellent leadership from Cecile Deltreil. The walking is good, scenically varied and very rural (we only saw one other walker the whole week!). Paths were sometimes good, sometimes non-existent on hilltops and sometimes through scratchy scrub - take your long trousers or gaiters. The trip is rated leisurely-moderate and whilst I felt the 4 day walks were 'moderate' in difficulty, partly because of the rough paths, the whole trip is fairly leisurely because you are based in one hotel and have some relaxation time at the end of each day (gin and tonics on the beach!). The Galaxy hotel in Karystos was fine with friendly family staff, good breakfast, but awful showers.”

“Our first self-guided walking trip was an unqualified success and reassuring to have a named person to deal with from the outset. Route-finding was very straightforward, with map, comprehensive descriptions and GPS waypoints. A joy to travel light, confident that comfortable accommodation was awaiting us at the end of each day. A perfect way to get to know a "new" island in the Cyclades.”

“If you like sparkling turquoise sea pretty much outside the hotel then this holiday is for you ! I found the walking quite tough as I wasnt quite fit enough and as other reviewers state its more moderate than leisurely especially in June! However, I enjoyed the three walks I did enormously and it was amazing to get up (and down) to the Roman columns the view from which is so memorable and now my screen saver. Solid support and encouragement up and down from Cecile and lovely group members. Plenty to see and do if you want to dip in and out of the walking you can, ie to dip in and out of the sea on comfy sun loungers with inexpensive waiter service from the taverna whilst helping the Greek economy (whats not to like). One day I went on an astounding snorkelling trip to the renowned Petali Islands : 7 hours for 35 including CAKE !!!”
