There is not one way of walking in Greece, there are as many as there are travellers. Some walk for the light and the silence, others for the old stones, for the tavernas or for the open air. And you?
In seven questions, this test pins down your walking temperament, then suggests the formula and the region that suit you, from the self-guided trip to the gourmet escape. Since 1983 we have been composing walking holidays in Greece in the register of the sweetness of life: this quiz simply helps you find yours.

One phrase sounds like you:
The contemplative wanderer

You walk for pleasure, not for performance: a village, a chapel, a cove, and time slowing down. The gentle Cyclades (Sifnos, Serifos, Amorgos) and a self-guided trip, at your own pace, are made for you. Explore the Cyclades.
The curious explorer

Every stone has a story, and you want it told to you. Ancient theatres, monasteries, forgotten cities: a guided trip, with a passionate leader at the head, in the Peloponnese or mainland Greece, will satisfy your thirst for heritage.
The epicurean

For you, walking is a path towards the table: olive oil, sheep's cheeses, taverna dishes and a glass at sunset. Head for Crete and Sifnos, gourmet capitals, to walk and feast.
The lover of the open air

Deep gorges, coastal paths, wide spaces facing the sea: you walk in order to breathe. Crete and its gorges, or the green paths of the Ionian Islands, open their finest ways to you.

To each walker their own trip
Whatever your profile, Greece has a path for you, and a way of walking it. Self-guided, you move on as you please, route notes in hand and luggage transferred from stage to stage. On a guided trip, a passionate leader opens up the history of the places and the good addresses, in the good company of a small group.
At Kelifos, specialists in walking holidays in Greece for more than forty years, we look after every detail (charming addresses, transfers, village tavernas) so that you have only to walk.
