From vibrant cities to tranquil nature reserves, walking is one of the most versatile ways to travel. It takes you to places you would never visit otherwise and allows you to experience the world in a completely new way. Here’s why walking is the ultimate travel experience:

Walking through the mountain villages on Zakynthos, which are still largely intact and not - like the lower areas - affected by the earthquake of 1953.

In the City: Discover Hidden Gems Urban walks lead you to surprising spots that you would normally miss while driving. Think of that cozy café down a side street or a charming square with an ancient tree. On foot, you truly discover the soul of a city.


In Nature: Hear Your Own Breath When you trade the hustle and bustle of the city for the serenity of nature, something magical happens. The fresh air, the soothing sound of leaves in the wind—these moments allow you to completely reconnect with yourself.

The Magic of Transition Zones Some of the most extraordinary walks are those where you feel the transition between city and nature. A city’s edge, where you suddenly encounter an open field, or a forest trail that leads you to a hidden lake.


Walking as a Connection Traveling by foot connects you not only with the world around you but also with yourself. You see more, feel more, and experience more.
