Welcome to Walking the Greek Islands


Welcome to islandwalking.com! This site contains travelling and trekking tips for the Greek islands as well as many other islands in or not too far from the Mediterranean. It is not intended to replace any tourist or walking guides that you might have, it is only a small supplement. And indeed, it is even a prerequisite for most of the descriptions of walks on these pages that you own the guide book(s) referred to in the text.

In this blog you can also expect rants about just about anything possibly related to walking as well as music or computers or beer or other “interesting” topics.

This site is dedicated to my parents Elsa (1934-2013) and Lars (1930-2020)

Limnos

A skeleton Limnos page has been made. Note that this page is is still under construction and more information about the few walks I did and some of the motivation for visiting Limnos in the first place will be added shortly.

Where it all started with Sunflower

Way back in 1997 I bought this book. The consequences of this are some of the reasons these pages exist today and have existed for more than 25 years. I recently bought a new much expanded and way better version of this book and immediately went on updating my old Fuerteventura Page, in the hope that some day soon I will be able to visit this island again and do even more walks here.

Papingo

A skeleton Papingo page is ready for your perusal. Note that this page is is still under construction and material will be added/changed/updated (or just forgotten about, as most things work around here) in a possible near future. Or perhaps in a parallel universe…

Videos on YouTube

I have discontinued the “full resolution” and “video” albums. I upload all pictures now in original size anyway to my regular photo album, and my videos can just as easily be added to the YouTube channel I made during Covid. Storing everything twice is a waste of space (and money).
