Greece Hiking & Walking Tours

Hiking & Cultural Journeys Across Hellas

From the stunning Greek Isles to the cliff-top monasteries of Meteora to the summit of Mount Olympus, the legendary abode of Zeus, our adventures in Greece are full of fantastic hikes, culinary delights, and wonderful overnights in atmospheric lodges. Our expert Trip Leaders bring you to all their favorite spots along the way.

Hikers ascend a stone staircase along a rocky cliff toward a white monastery built into the mountainside under a clear blue sky.

What Makes Our Greece Tours Special?

  • A Side of Greece Few Travelers Know — We skip the cruise-ship circuit and head for the trails. Hike through the stone-built villages of Zagoria, cross a 1000-year-old bridge over the Vikos Gorge, follow ancient trails connecting whitewashed Cycladic villages, scramble up to Minoan cave sanctuaries on Crete, or climb to the clifftop monasteries of Meteora.
  • Trip Leaders with Deep Local Roots — Our Greece Trip Leaders grew up in these mountains and on these islands. Kostas lives in a village inside the Vikos Gorge. Karolos calls Tinos home. Katerina hiked these trails her entire life. They know the hidden footpaths, the best tavernas, and the local families.
  • A Culinary Adventure Led by Locals — Our Trip Leaders introduce you to the flavors of Greece at every turn—a snail farm on Crete where you’ll sample a Minoan-era recipe, a seaside taverna serving the morning’s catch, a marble village square for coffee and baklava.
  • Charming Stays with Local Character — Stone guesthouses in Zagoria, a restored ecotourism village on Crete, a family-run hotel overlooking the sea. Every property is handpicked for its warmth, character, and sense of place.
  • Multiple Ways to Experience Greece — Summit Mt. Olympus and explore the Vikos Gorge on our northern Greece adventure, island-hop through the Cyclades on foot, discover Crete’s hidden trails and Minoan sites, or design your own Private Journey through Athens, Paros, and Santorini.
