GUEST WEEKS
Hiking the Menalon Trail
With Claire, Vicky, Steve, Sandra, Helen, Jane, Anna, Janine & Jacqui.
Just 2 hours from Breakaway Greece, an amazing 72km hike via 5 hilltop Greek villages.
Join us to hike the trail
Autumn: 23 - 30 September 2023.
Spring: 29 April - 6 May 2024. (to include celebrating Greek Easter in Epidavros).
“If you want a total escape from it all, the Menalon trail is perfect with stunning scenery and great hiking and what adds to the whole experience is going with BreakawayGreece. Chris is an excellent host, making sure, from behind the scenes, that everything is organised for you, ensuring the only thing you have to think about is putting one foot in front of the other and deciding at the end of the day, over a cold drink and local food, which view and what part of the trail was your favourite for that day. Experience real Greek hospitality, support local businesses and meet new people - the perfect hike.
BreakawayGreece and Chris ensure the whole experience of a total retreat away from the hectic lives we leave behind is fully met. In fact, the only question you will have to ask is ‘Chris - when and where are you running the next hiking holiday?’ Count me in!”
