Join us to combine walking and exploring the spectacular Peloponnese region of mainland Greece with its thousands of years of history. We ramble through countryside where wild oregano scents the hills and sample wine at a vineyard that may have been in operation since the time of Hercules. Our base is the charming town of Tolo with its beaches and tavernas serving wonderful Greek cuisine. One day we take a ferry to nearby islands of Spetses and Hydra.
With two guides, you can choose between gentle "Philosopher" walks or more challenging "Olympian" hikes.
At the end of the week you could have time in Athens or an optional three night cruise to the Islands of Crete, Patmos, Santorini and Mykonos.

About Walkers World
Rambles in Greece:
We spend seven nights in
a seaside hotel in the town of Tolo on the Peloponnese Peninsula
Our activity combines walking,
sightseeing and enjoying traditional Greek hospitality.
About the walks:
Each day we divide into two
groups:
Philosophers or Olympians
Philosopher walks are done at a
relaxed pace with lots of stopping to contemplate and enjoy the scenery. Distance is less than 10 km per
day with 300 metres of ascent or less. Our favourite Greek philosopher on
these walks is Epicurus who believed in the "absence of
suffering".
Olympian walks are more energetic. Maximum distance could be up to 16 km with up to 500
metres of ascent. In spite of the name, these are not Spartan
athletic events and the emphasis is on having fun as well as sightseeing
and hearing about gods and heroes.
