Lefkada Island
Lefkada Island is our year-round home and starting location for our walking holidays in the Greek Islands.
Lefkada Island is surrounded by the turquoise waters of the Ionian Sea. The island has a dramatic landscape with vertical rocky cliffs, mountainous areas with valleys and gorges leading to some beautiful, traditional and friendly Greek villages.
There are many walking trails on Lefkada Island including coastal routes, waterfalls, springs and ancient ruins, with many passing through olive groves and untouched nature.

Kalamos Island
Kalamos is a small, mountainous and beautifully unspoiled island, known for its dramatic coastline, lucious vegetation and tall pine trees which grow up to the coastline and crystal-clear blue sea.
The main harbour, Kalamos Town, is a welcoming port lined with waterfront tavernas, small cafés and family-run shops.
Kalamos is less developed than nearby islands and offers excellent walking trails, through untouched natural landscapes before relaxing and enjoying the harbour lights reflecting off the water, creating a beautiful, peaceful setting for the night.

Kastos Island
Kastos is one of the smallest and most peaceful islands in the Ionian Sea, offering a truly authentic and unspoiled Greek experience. With fewer than 200 residents, quiet stone-built villages and pristine turquoise bays, Kastos is a favourite stop for guests seeking relaxation, natural beauty and slow island living.
Kastos is an island where time seems to slow down. Its natural beauty, peaceful atmosphere and postcard-perfect anchorages make it a magical and memorable stop on our catamaran based walking holidays in the Ionian Islands.
