Anna Aperghi Travel & Tourism

Who they are

Anna Aperghi Travel & Tourism is a Corfu travel agency specialising in walking on the island. Its office is in Potamos, on the outskirts of Corfu town (Yperagias Theotokou Eleousis 2). Anna Aperghi has organised walking holidays on the Corfu Trail since the path opened in 2001, and today runs the agency with a team of about eight people: Marcella Van Hemert, manager and guide; Spiros Aperghis, guide and head of field operations; Petra Lieberherr, guide; Marina Nabbe, who has handled bookings since 2006; and a transfers coordinator with two drivers. The agency publishes its own website for the trail, with a description of the stages.

The trail and the programmes

The Corfu Trail runs the length of the island: 178 km and about 5,400 m of ascent, from Asprokavos, at the far south, to Agios Spyridon, on the north coast. The agency divides it into eleven stages of 11 to 23 km and four to seven hours of walking. The terrain is very varied: beaches and dunes, olive groves, cobbled mule paths, tracks, some stretches of quiet road, the descent of a cliff on the Liapades stage and the karst plateau of the north, the wildest part of the island.

They sell the trail in several ways. The self-guided programmes are done at your own pace, with logistics handled by the agency: the complete one, just the southern half (Asprokavos–Liapades), just the northern (Liapades–Agios Spyridon), a selection of the best stretches, a gentle-pace version and a winter one with a stay in Corfu town. There is also a programme for running the trail. The guided ones leave on fixed dates: in 2026, the complete trail from 4 to 18 April and the northern stretch from 11 to 18 April, as well as an autumn week along the southwest coast and the town. All programmes can be adapted.

The complete programme lasts fifteen days, with a rest day, and mostly sleeps in guesthouses with breakfast at the end of each stage, with car transfers when needed. Clients mention maps, GPS and a route guide; the website does not publish a fixed list of what each programme includes or whether luggage is carried.

Season and who it is for

The guided dates are in spring and autumn, the sensible time for walking on Corfu without the heat of July and August, and the winter programme shows they work all year. They cater for individual travellers and groups. They do not publish maximum group size, minimum age or required level, but stages of six or seven hours call for being used to walking several days in a row.
