Recommendations for the best hikes on Corfu?

[mastichas09]

I'm currently planning a trip to the beautiful island of Corfu and have heard that it's a paradise for hikers and nature lovers alike. With its stunning landscapes, the Ionian sea's mesmerizing views, and lush trails winding through ancient olive groves, I'm eager to explore some of the island's best hiking trails.

That being said, I'm reaching out to this wonderful community for the insights and experiences of those who have tread these paths before me. Whether you're a seasoned hiker or someone who enjoys leisurely walks amidst nature, I would love to hear your recommendations on finding a good hiking trail. I'd prefer it to be scenic, and it shouldn't be too hard. Other than that, I am open to just about anything!

Thanks in advance!

I have some ideas. I asked a friend - I have never been to Corfu:

• The Corfu Trail: Stretching the length of the island, this trail offers a comprehensive Corfu experience but requires several days to complete. Has anyone here tackled it entirely or in segments?
• Mount Pantokrator: The highest peak on the island, offering panoramic views. I'm looking for tips on the best time of day to start and any hidden gems along the way.
• Agios Georgios to Porto Timoni: A shorter, more leisurely hike leading to a stunning double bay. Anyone tried swimming there?
• The Erimitis Area: Known for its biodiversity and scenic beauty, with trails leading to secluded beaches.
