Walking in Central (South) Corfu
Central Corfu (South) is dominated by the island's second highest mountain range, the Agii Deka Massif, which peaks at 570 metres. Topped by a distinctive radar installation, Mount Agii Deka and its outlying spurs provide some of the most taxing walking terrain in Corfu. To the south east, the spur comprises a ridge which stretches as far as Moraitika. To the south west, another spur terminates in the bulk of Mount Agios Mattheos; and between these two ridges extends the great bowl of the Messongi River. North of the Agii Deka Massif, rolling olive-clad hills are dotted with some of Corfu's prettiest villages, and mazed with tracks and footpaths. Underfoot, the terrain of the walks varies from gentle olive grove tracks to rough and stony footpaths which hug mountainous slopes.

The Central Corfu (South) walking region has as its northern border the National Pelekas Highway, and stretches southwards to the traditional boundary of Corfu's Deep South, the Messongi River.
