A sudden desire to plug into nature, coupled with my love of Greece, led me to the Corfu Trail. 🇬🇷
A week later, I was being picked up by the charismatic Spiros Apergis, a born-and-bred Corfiot with a passion for butterflies, conservation, and the island he calls home.
Over the week of walking the mountains, beaches, and forests, his infectious laugh and remarkable knowledge and love of the history of the island, kept us entertained but also inspired.
He is a lifelong environmentalist and a man of strong principles, who also recognises that good health is essential for him to continue doing what he loves - which was evident in a day of foraging followed in the evening by a delicious wild mushroom risotto.
Spiros is currently preparing for the season, which starts with the gruelling work of maintaining the trail. On receiving these pictures I took, he said that he was transported to the beautiful spots immediately and that it was the best encouragement for him - so I thought I would share my favourite frames of him here.
If you are inspired to walk with Spiros and would like details of the trip, I booked through .worldwide
