Walking in Central (North) Corfu
From the flat Ropa Plain to the rugged west coast hills, the Central Corfu (North) walking area encompasses a huge range of landscapes. Though urban sprawl encroaches year by year on the countryside around Corfu Town, out of the suburbs much of the region remains rural, whether in the vicinity of the many picturesque village or away from habitation. In the Central Corfu (North) region, you walk to mountaintops and along high ridges, and in the lowlands through pastures alongside rivers and streams. And throughout the region you wander amongst the endless olive groves which blanket the rolling hills.
