Walking Culture

Greece has a deep tradition of walking, from the ancient peripatetic philosophers who taught while walking to the island paths (monopati) that connect villages across the Cyclades. The Menalon Trail in the Peloponnese and Samaria Gorge in Crete are world-class. Island-hopping on foot reveals a slower, more authentic Greece.
