Holiday / Activity Overview:

Tread in the footsteps of Achilles. Our self guided walks take you through time in the area of Zarnata, a land of monasteries, castles, towers, and Mycean tombs. We use wherever possible the ancient track ways that link the villages, known as kalderimi. Discover lost villages, ancient wells and springs, hear the story of the revolution and stand on the same path as Achilles when he saw the ships of Greece leave for Troy.

Ideal for those interested in natural fauna and wildlife, it's a photographers paradise. This is the real Greece, local tavernas, traditional Greek cooking, home made wine, excellent olive oil and where the only traffic jams are caused by sheep and goats. To view the area go to: www.allaboutavia.com or click on 'Our Website' link at the top of this page.

The walking holidays take place in March until July and September until the end of November. The walks are well signposted, and are mostly moderate. Ideal for beginners or the experience. We can tailor your walks to suit. Your timetable is flexible so if members of the family would prefer to go swimming or sightseeing, it will not cause any any problems. We have a range of excellent self catering accommodation, ranging from villas with pools to village houses. All accommodation is available throughout the summer.
