Guided walking holidays in Greece
A guide who pushes open the door of a taverna known only to him, a table laid in the shade of a fig tree, the laughter that ripples when someone tries to pronounce "efcharisto" for the first time. Our guided walking holidays in Greece are made of moments like these: shared discovery, the easy companionship of a small group of epicureans, and the certainty that every detail has been thought through for you. In groups of 6 to 14 travellers, you walk light, led by an English-speaking guide who knows every path, every secret cove, every address where the owner still prepares the morning's catch. For those who prefer complete independence, we also offer self-guided trips, crafted with equal care.

Why choose a guided walking holiday in Greece?
A Kelifos guide is not simply an escort: they are a bridge to Greek culture. Living in Greece for years, they speak the language, know the stories you will not find in any book, and maintain friendships with the artisans, winemakers and fishermen you will meet along the way. It is the guide who turns a fine vista into a conversation about the Venetian architecture of a particular village, who takes you to taste a graviera aged at altitude by a cheesemaker he calls by first name, who knows exactly when the light over the caldera is at its most beautiful.
Our groups bring together 6 to 14 travellers: enough for convivial dinners on a terrace with a sea view, few enough for everyone to feel valued, ask questions, and linger before a Byzantine chapel without holding anyone back. Everything is included: boutique hotels selected one by one, inter-island transfers, your luggage waiting each evening at your address, lunches in family-run tavernas, tastings of local produce. You have nothing to organise, nothing to carry. Each day alternates moments of discovery and free time, at an easy pace that always leaves room for an impromptu swim, a Greek coffee on a terrace, or a nap in the shade of olive trees.
Our guided walking destinations
The Cyclades: light and the art of island living
With a guide, the Cyclades reveal themselves differently. You follow the kalderimia, those marble-paved paths linking the white villages for centuries, you discover coves known only to walkers, you sit down in the taverna where the owner still slow-bakes revithada in a wood-fired oven. Sifnos and its culinary traditions, Serifos and its secret trails, Santorini and its caldera at sunset: each island takes on a special flavour when someone tells you its story.
Crete: terroir and ancient heritage
The largest Greek island is perfectly suited to a guided trip. Spectacular gorges, plateaux strewn with wildflowers, mountain villages where time seems to stand still: Crete reveals itself fully when a local guide opens its doors. Here, gastronomy is an art of living, and every halt is a chance to taste sheep's cheese aged in a cave, cold-pressed olive oil, thyme honey gathered from the heights.
The Ionian Islands: Adriatic charm and emerald forests
Greener, more intimate, the Ionian Islands offer a different face of Greece. Cypress forests, villages with Venetian accents, waters of deep blue. Accompanied by a guide who knows every coastal path and every hidden bay, you discover a preserved archipelago where slow living is a daily art. Corfu, Paxos, Kefalonia: so many names that promise serenity.
Guided or self-guided?
If you prefer to travel independently, at your own rhythm and according to your mood, our self-guided walking trips offer the same quality of charming addresses, the same luggage transfer service and the same local assistance. Only the format changes: you are guided by a detailed road book and a GPS app, free to stop whenever a cove or a terrace calls.
