Today you have two options to choose from. You can go for a more challenging variant of the Corfu Trail that takes you along a steep (exciting) climb.

You walk through nature where you are surrounded by tranquillity and beautiful green trees. Both trails eventually reconnect at the village of Giannades, offering you the perfect opportunity to catch your breath before starting your final few kilometers to Liapedes.
