Vikos Gorge Traveller Reviews

Our first multi day self-guided hike with the highly recommended On Foot Holidays was challenging in its terrain but most enjoyable as an overall experience. The Vikos Gorge and Kapesovo Circuit were incredible places in which to hike and spend time sitting, observing and taking interesting photos. We felt very well supported by the company and loved all the guesthouses they organised for us. All our local hosts, especially the delightful driver and tour guide, were very friendly and helpful. After three long days of increasingly hard hikes (and my feet complaining!) we didn’t start the Dragon Lake walk, and instead enjoyed the lovely Sterna cafe in Papingo, and chose an easier hike along to the glorious Red Cliff face later on.

Highly efficient and helpful, prompt to answer our questions as well as genuinely keen to receive our feedback. We can’t wait to go with On Foot Holidays again soon!

A week's hiking in Zagora, including the Vikos gorge, organised with On Foot Travel. I'm a keen and fit walker, but should add that I'm sixty, but the walks were exactly the right blend of adventure and enjoyment, with alternatives for most days if you felt you needed a rest. The walk through the Vikos gorge was one of the highlights of fifty years of walking - hard, but so spectacular that at some points it quite literally took my breath away.

I hadn't been with them before, but their itineraries attracted me as they're all self-guided walks in areas which are not heavily touristed. The instructions for the walks were meticulous and their attention to detail exemplary. The small family run hotels were full of character and interest, and the entire week went without a single hitch. A holiday of a lifetime (I should add that I'm well-travelled!) and one that will live long in my memory.

OMG that was THE BEST trip I’ve ever taken. I have been to Greece probably around 45 times, my dad is Greek and I’ve gone every summer since I was a kid and sometimes I go in the spring as well. But I’ve never been to this area of Greece before. I am still thinking about the beauty of the land and villages, the friendliness of the people, the wonderful accommodations, the delicious food, and of course the (hard) but satisfying walks and hikes. Amazing. I think I will only travel through On Foot Holidays from now on! Everything was so well organzied, we just showed up at our accommodations and they were expecting us. We often wanted to start our walk early in the morning, our hosts were very willing to adjust our breakfast time or pack a breakfast for us. Such nice people. Thank you for everything. For the organized and very detailed walkers packet and for this lovely opportunity to visit this amazing area of Greece.

Quick to reply to questions, described everything very thoroughly, very professional and enthusiastic

The trip itinerary immersed us in the natural beauty, history and culture of the Vikos Gorge.

The trip was well-organized from our first contact to find out about the trip to the pre-planning to the logistics during the trip. Communication was timely, personal and friendly. Accommodations and meals organized for us were excellent.

We hiked village to village in the Vikos Gorge.

Good communication, trip went as planned, good trip resources, accommodations were very thoughtfully chosen

My wife and I walked for five days, covering 87k and 5k up. That was why it made every beer and every mouthful of delicious food even better. The hosts at every stop could not have been nicer and each place was just perfect. I don't usually write reviews but thought this was well worthy of one.

On Foot Holidays organizing was perfect. We did our own to get to their pick up point, and everything else was great. They had selected great accommodation, run by realy great people which went towards making our experience even more special. The paper instructions were an ease to follow if you didn't get on with modern GPS. All in all, they couldn't have done more.

We had a fantastic holiday arranged by On foot holidays. We arrived in Corfu and transferred to Vikos gorge in northern Greece via ferry, bus and taxi. We had four wonderful days of walking in a very beautiful part of Greece and got to experience some of the history and magic of the Zagori region. It was a very good holiday indeed.

We had a fantastic holiday arranged by On foot holidays. The transfer logistics from Corfu to the mainland and then on to Vokos Gorge were spot on. The walking itinerary and information provided including maps and app based GPS were excellent. The accommodation and food options were more than OK. It was a fantastic holiday to a part of Greece we would normally not visit - I'll be booking through On Foot again - soon.

Beyond all expectations. Perfect weather and conditions couled with glorious scenery and views made for a spectacular hike. The accomadations couldn't have been better (including the fabulous food). All the hoteliers were lovely people.

Onfoot were extremely proffesional. The level of information and detail that went into our hike was immense and left no uncertainty on our trek. Response times are truly faster than any company I've dealt with, travel or otherwise. I have already recommended them to friends.

Self guided walking holiday in the Vikos Gorge.

Very responsive, thoroughly researched route and guiding notes. GPS route also provided. Excellent support on the ground if needed. Excellent accommodation, arrival and departure assistance. No stone left unturned. Would highly recommend them and will use again.

5-day walking through the area in and around Vikos Gorge, NW Greece; On Foot organised the hotels and carriage of bags between them

Friendly, very responsive, organised: On Foot had thought of all eventualities. We had an excellent time.
