On Foot, Corfu and Zagori



The ideal walking holiday in Greece

Greece: Corfu and the Vikos Gorge
Sapphire sea and gorgeous gorge

As you will see below, I have been approached to contribute an essay in connection with this unbeatable walking holiday.

On Foot Holidays
December 23

"Expert Eyes. Any holiday company tries to make itself a little different from the rest and we are no exception. Our staff are particularly keen that our routes should not be just a good walk, but also an introduction to somewhere the walker has not visited before and would like to know more about. So it was an obvious decision that we should start to introduce into our packages a personal view from someone who knows a particular region really well.

And so have our first "Expert Eye"! Following the launch of our latest route "Greece: Corfu and the Vikos Gorge" (http://www.onfootholidays.co.uk/Default.aspx/viewTour.51), we tracked down Jim Potts, the renowned Ionian expert and author of "The Ionian Islands and Epirus, A Cultural History" (Signal Books, Oxford and OUP, USA, 2010), and are delighted that he has agreed to contribute the first essay of its type. Extraordinarily, his knowledge mirrors precisely our route (the Vikos Gorge at the centre of Epirus), though extends to poetry and music too! Our walkers will be able to read his contribution as preparation for their holiday, or once there over a glass of local wine on a sunny evening by the sea or in the mountains...."
