It was a wonderfully varied hiking itinerary—lovely to spend so much time outdoors and get to know the island in a relaxed way, thanks to Spiros, our local guide.

We visited beautiful spots and enjoyed delicious meals at local restaurants with a fun group. Plus, we had a fantastic guide who knew everything about the island. Everything was well organized.

Want to know more about who we are?
For nearly 20 years, Ellen organized trips to Egypt and Sudan with Aisha’s father. On Zakynthos, she rediscovered her passion for organizing travel and developed her first walking tours there together with a local guide. Her daughter Aisha—a qualified Travel & Hospitality Manager—has since joined the team. Together, we personally curate every trip, working with local specialists who know the places you wouldn't easily discover on your own.
Why travel with Experience Hikes
Experience a destination from the inside out. You’ll hike through stunning natural landscapes, discover off-the-beaten-path locations, and savor the flavors of the region. With a local guide, you’ll visit places you might not otherwise find. You’ll meet locals, visit unique small businesses, and let the journey surprise you with whatever unfolds along the way.
As one traveler put it: “You get to know the non-touristy side of Zakynthos, too.”
This is no ordinary hiking trip, but a journey filled with nature, culture, adventure, and human connection. You’ll return home with stories and memories that stay with you.
For curious travelers who want to experience more
Embark on an active journey of discovery, yet experience the trip in your own way. You’ll hike and explore with a small group, meet new people, and share wonderful moments. There is also plenty of time for yourself—whether for a swim, relaxing at a café, shopping, or enjoying a great dinner together.
“It felt relaxed right from the start,” says one of our travelers.
With groups ranging from 6 to a maximum of 15 participants, the atmosphere is personal and sociable. You travel together while retaining the freedom to experience the destination on your own terms.
Hike difficulty & what’s included
All you have to do is enjoy yourself
The hikes range from easy to moderate, covering approximately 8–15 km per day across varied terrain that is sometimes hilly and rocky. A good level of basic fitness and sturdy hiking boots are required. We take care of the rest: guidance, the hiking itinerary, activities, local transport, accommodation, and breakfast. As one participant summarized it: “Everything was perfectly organized; the program offered a great variety, and the hikes were stunning.”
You generally book your own flight, which gives you the flexibility to extend your stay if you wish.

I previously had a fantastic holiday in Zakynthos with Experience Hikes.
Sardinia was just as wonderful an experience. The guidance, the local guides, the visits to small-scale local initiatives, and the natural surroundings—everything was excellent once again!
