Day Three: Venetian Coast
Corfu welcomes many visitors of which most stay in the north of the island. The south is usually skipped, which is a missed chance as it shows a different Corfu; less busy and more laid back, here time has stood still. The south is less mountainous dotted with endless sandy beaches, dunes and traditional villages. For todays walk we take our transfer to Linia and from here we’ll set off for a long loop around the Lagoon of Korisson. The lagoon and the coast is a Natura 2000 protected area. The beach and sand dunes are covered with a forest of prickly juniper, reed beds and groves of tamarisk, white water lilies and many species of orchids. The lagoon is habitat to hundreds of endangered bird species, with the pink flamingos being the most striking. The first leg of the walk runs in between the sea and lake. A wooden plank-bridge crosses over a canal, which is actually the only (sea)water source of the huge lake. We’ll continue along Issos beach, once a film location for James Bonds’ For your Eyes Only.

Day Five: The Heart Of The Island
For our last hike we’ll take our bus to the village of Troumpeta, at the foot of the mighty Pantokratoras. If the sky is clear we’ll enjoy captivating views over the entire east-coast. A sloping path leads us to Sokraki, this traditional village is rarely visited and off the beaten track. It’s a great spot to wonder around the cobbled, narrow streets and admire the old stone houses. Our path continues, through dense forests, along a narrow valley to the lake of Katapino. A short, but challenging, descent brings us to the next forgotten village, the beautiful Venetian houses and ruins of Agios Markos, protected as a cultural heritage site. From here our route takes us along an old donkey trail meandering through a narrow valley, towards the coast.

We recommend that you check passport and visa requirements for the country you are visiting at the State Department if you have a U.S. Passport. Most countries require that your passport have at least six months validity when traveling internationally, and many require that you have one to two blank visa pages for either an entry stamp or visa. As a general rule, please check that your passport has six months validity beyond your planned trip, and if not, please renew your passport with plenty of time to provide Solos with your updated passport information by the final payment due date.
