This trip was suggested to me by a friend, but as an 83 year-old who ‘peaked’ more than 10 years ago I had some reservations about going on it. However, my fears were put to rest when I saw that the same hotel was used before and after the most challenging stage – the 14-mile final stretch of the northern trail, including the crossing of Mount Pantokrater. But in the event, although the terrain is hilly with some steep climbs I didn’t find any of the walking particularly difficult. It helped that a lot of the journey was on shady woodland tracks. Mt Pantokrator was quite an easy climb, the only challenge being the length of the day and the distance.
Not having visited Corfu before I found it a fascinating place, and have many vivid memories of the trip. We were fortunate to have, in Spiros, a leader who was very knowledgeable about local history, politics and wildlife. He worked very hard to make the holiday enjoyable for us, including leading us on a beautiful coastal walk to Kassiopi on the free day. I only wish I had discovered the island earlier so that I could walk the southern section as well.

Come aboard and sail through some of the most beautiful Greek islands in the Ionian Sea. On this eight-day trip from Corfu to Kefalonia, you’ll journey through secluded coastlines, private islands, rolling hills and orchards, Venetian architecture, warm tavernas and some of the world’s cleanest waters. Each day, you’ll go for a swim in bright blue bays, watch the sunset on the deck of your sailing boat and spend the night on the town, exploring everything these islands have to offer. Stop in Paxos, Antipaxos, Lefkadas, Meganisi, Ithaca, Atokos, Kastos and Kalamos and walk their winding shores and white sands, chill on their comfortable beaches and discover coves that are only seen by boat.

My experience with G Adventures was absolutely incredible. This was my first time travelling and I couldn?t have asked for a better way to do it. As a female solo traveller, I found that G Adventures was a great way to travel while creating friendships and feeling safe. The CEOs are absolutely phenomenal and add so much value to travelling, especially if you don?t know too much about the destinations you?re travelling to. Everything is so well organised and coordinated. Can?t wait for my next G trip.

On this nine-day journey, say hello to the Southern Balkans. Steeped in medieval history, overflowing with colourful towns and blessed with a glistening coastline, this area has so much to see and do. From Dubrovnik, you’ll head to bucket list location Corfu – a Greek island where battle zones, beaches, bunkers and bars are all rolled together. Discover Ulcinj and its medieval delights, explore the political history of Albania’s capital Tirana, lay beachside on the Albanian Riviera and try the local coffee in Gjirokaster with your new mates. Is this a whirlwind adventure or a slice of paradise?

I joined this tour as an 18 year old first time solo traveller, scared and excited to travel with strangers. To put it simply, it exceeded all my expectations. The places I’ve been, the things I’ve seen and the people I’ve met put my experience over the top. Thank you G Adventures!

What can you do in a month? Oh you know, just see some of the absolute best parts of Europe on a 30-day, hostel-based adventure from Amsterdam to Corfu, that’s all. Sound good to you? Then let’s get going. On the first leg of your trip, you’ll visit Berlin before heading to Prague, Vienna, and Salzburg, soaking up art, architecture, and the best views ever along the way. Next up, the Alps! Experience the colourful charm of Innsbruck and the baffling beauty of Lake Misurina, then venture further into Italy for flavour-filled days in Rome, Florence, and Tuscany. Croatia comes after, including a stop in Dubrovnik (the real-life King’s Landing) before road tripping into Montenegro and Albania for a tour of a medieval fortress and beachfront hangouts. Finally, catch the ferry to Corfu for one epic final day.

Really enjoyed the holiday. Accommodation levels a bit mixed. Some really lovely, others a bit basic. Our tour leader was excellent. Very knowledgeable and organised, but a lot of fun too.
