7. Corfu Walking Trails
The Greek island of Corfu has been called a piece of Tuscany in the Ionian Sea. Millions of weather-gnarled olive trees planted centuries ago, their silver-grey foliage interspersed with dark cypresses, and the extraordinary richness in wild flowers, give the island the air of a vast botanical garden. With a coastline of more than 300 km and mountains rising to 1,000 meters, rolling hillsides with extensive olive groves, vineyards and breathtaking panoramas, the real Corfu is predestined by nature to be discovered on foot and is a real must for walkers and trekkers.
