Small Group Hiking Sunset in Monolithos

4.Small Group Hiking Sunset in Monolithos

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 33 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $57Top rated

Hike from Monolithos village to a red-sand bay and castle ruins for sunset, with hotel pickup, gear, water, and a small group.

“Our group was just me and my hubby with Manuela. Firstly we were picked up from our hotel. The drive to our starting point was ok. Then we hiked for about 9 km: down to a beautiful beach and then back up to Monolithos to see the sunset. The weather was hot but we had enough breaks to make sure we were hydrated. The beach was really nice. And the sunset was amazing. I recommend this but make sure you have good shoes and you are in relatively good shape. Hiking up and down mountains in hot weather is not for everyone. But we really enjoyed this!”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 8 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $72

Hike from Liapades through olive groves to Rovinia and Limni beaches, swim in clear water, explore village lanes, and watch sunset.

“We had an incredible hike with George which was definitely the highlight of our trip to Corfu. We started in the traditional hillside village of Liapades, winding our way along a picturesque trail through the trees with incredible views of the coastline and some gorgeous quiet beaches. George was so knowledgeable and really made it fun for us. A highlight was a (chilly!) swim at the deserted beach of Limni just below an abandoned villa, and watching the sunset from a rocky outcrop. 10/10 would recommend.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 7 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $47

Review of Athens’ Mount Hymettus sunset hike, with forest paths, Byzantine ruins, city views, guide details, price, and practical tips.

“Our guide, Konstantinos, communicated with me a day ahead to confirm time and specific info for pick up. He was right on time. It was nice to take the short car ride and get out of the city for the evening. The hike was not difficult and Konstantinos stopped multiple times to point out different plants along the way and told us some history as well. He also took pictures of us at different locations which was very nice since we rarely get pictures with the whole family. The sunset was absolutely beautiful! The hike after the sunset to get back to the car was short and there was plenty…”
