Walking/Terrain
5½ days of walking
Shortest day: 9km
Longest.day: 25km
Hilly terrain with frequent ups and downs. Significant (up to 300m) ascents/descents. The trails are a combination of beach walks, purpose-built paths, vehicle tracks and gravel roads. We rate this as the equivalent of a Level 4 European tour. Sturdy boots with good ankle support are recommended. Walking poles are an advantage, especially for the descents. There is always the opportunity to walk in half day sections if you don’t wish to walk the entire route. In order to maximize your enjoyment of your holiday we recommend you exercise regularly prior to the trip in order to build up your fitness level.
Accommodation
There are no twin-bedded rooms available on this tour, so a twin-share option is not possible. Solo travellers will always have their own bedroom but may be required to share a bathroom.
