Scenic Arcadia

Spent a week hiking the Menalon trail in the Peloponnese, Greece on a trail that links mountainside villages. The arrangements were perfect with a blend of small hotels and guest houses; the app provided made logistics easy and, as always, the transportation of luggage from one location to another was seamless. And - the weather was perfect and the scenery beautiful!

A wonderful way to experience and discover a part of Greece we did not know

Our first time on a walking holiday and we cannot thank On Foot for making it such an easy, well-organised and enjoyable experience. They provided all the information we needed well in advance, with the comfort of having a local expert should we need one (we didn't1).

Organised, efficient, professional. Gave us detailed information regarding our holiday in good time, should we have had any queries. Clearly very experienced in providing this type of holiday - anticipated most questions!

Green Greece

After arriving in the Arcadia mountains, we were met by the most lovely people from start to finish. The walking was beautiful and challenging, but that just made every beer at the end taste even better. Every place we stayed was different, and all with amazing views. Its our second trip with OnFoot and they didn't disappoint.

Great communication and excellent planning. Enough clear information, but not overwhelming. Not had any problems on both our trips so far.

Arcadia was the best walking trip yet.

The Menalon Trail takes you through some staggeringly beautiful mountain scenery. The going can be tough but still no problem for an octogenarian. The places we stayed at each night were either good or very good. When we ate at tavernas, the food was not only excellent but represented remarkably good value.

This was our 6th trip with On Foot and we are already thinking about a 7th. The walking app was invaluable and worked extremely well. All arrangements, taxi rides and accommodation worked perfectly as they always do. Communications affecting the route were communicated to us during our holiday which was most helpful. Queries from us are answered very quickly even at weekends, a service you don't get from large companies.

Excellent Greek hiking experience

We did the Menalon Trail, hiking between mountain villages in Arcadia in the Greek Peloponnese and booked via OnFoot Holidays. The information provided and hiking support package from OnFoot Holidays was outstanding. The accommodation arranged and the Greek hosts were charming and the spring flowers in May spectacular.

OnFoot Holidays offer holidays that are off the beaten track in quieter areas of Europe - which are delightfully free from over-tourism. It was the first time we had booked with OnFoot but would do so again.

Arcadian

Self guided walking through fabulous countryside, staying at small hotels, guest houses, and one home stay. Clear instructions and a GPS based app for guidance. Lovely route, in manageable sections, with shortening options if needed, though we actually only used one lengthening option. Fabulous food throughout to power us up those hills.

Hiking the Menalon Trail/Arcadia Greece

We opted for the On Foot Holiday 6 night route with an additional 3 rest days in Vitina, Stemnitsa and Dimitsana. Hiking this area of Greece is first rate. Gorgeous scenery and magical mountain villages. Our itinerary included a home stay that was the highlight of our trip.

Rating for tour operator:

Always available, quick to respond to any questions, friendly, good sense of humor, people on the ground in Greece helpful, reliable and very friendly. On Foot covers every last detail, incl hiking the opposite direction as most, a little bit of genius making the village of Dimitsana the final prize. Route notes, maps, and GPS app were indispensable. The only thing OFH doesn't do is walk for you!

A beautiful walk in unspoilt Greek countryside

We enjoyed a self-guided walk along the Menalon Trail in the unspoilt Arcadia region of the Peloponnese in Greece. We walked along well-signposted ancient paths, passing through many delightful mountain villages. The scenery was richly varied, the hosts at our B&B accommodation were very welcoming, while the local dishes were a daily treat.

This was our seventh trip with On Foot Holidays. They design the route, provide detailed and easy-to-follow walking instructions, organise all of the accommodation en route, and arrange daily baggage transfers. All we have do is turn up and walk, knowing that we don't need to worry about any aspect of the holiday.

Glorious arcadian adventure

This was a route through the Peloponnese, an area of Greece we were not familiar with, and we were definitely not expecting it to be so breathtakingly beautiful and varied We loved the challenge of the walk, the variety of landscapes that we walked through, the silence and being immersed in such unspoilt nature.

Rating for tour operator:

The attention to detail was beyond expectations. We were a little bemused by how much we received prior to going, but once we were on the walk we appreciated how much we needed it. At every single point on the holiday we felt supported and if anything untoward had happened, reassured that there would be a response immediately either in Greece or back in the UK. We have organised walking holidays with other companies but On Foot are in a different league in comparison for the service we received. Will definitely use them again and will be recommending them to anyone who listens!
