Dramatic cliffs and white-sand beaches – discover the joys of the seaside on foot

Coastal Walking Holidays

With sweeping golden sands and sparkling seas as far as the eye can see, it’s easy to understand why coastal walking trips are more popular than ever. In fact, our Walking the Amalfi Coast itinerary is the most popular Exodus trip of all time.

With the lure of picturesque spots for picnic lunches, sunny climates and spectacular ocean views, coastal walking tours provide the perfect mix of activity and relaxation. And from the Mediterranean hotspots of the Cinque Terre and the stal trails of Mallorca to the azure waters of the Aegean Sea, there are plenty to choose from!

Our Top Spots for Coastal Hikes

Italy

The Italian coast isn’t there simply to admire – it’s made to explore. From the lemon-scented paths above Amalfi to the pastel-painted charm of the Cinque Terre, there’s beauty at almost every turn. And with Exodus, those coastal trails become all the more beautiful when you meet our local friends, learn their stories and share a glass or two.

Spain

The Mediterranean coast is full of drama, from the golden sands of Catalunya to the sweeping coastal trails of Mallorca. But with Exodus, you’ll discover the nuance too: pine-shaded paths through fishing hamlets, secret coves, and rustic mountain villages where you can enjoy post-walk tapas with the local people.

Greece

The coastal walks of Greece are as legendary as the myths passed down through the centuries. On the island of Evia, trails run from sleepy mountain hamlets to remote shores only the locals know. Further south, in the Dodecanese, ancient paths link monasteries, crumbling castles, and olive groves. These aren’t just walks, they’re journeys worthy of any Greek epic.

Portugal

Portugal’s coastline is wild, wondrous, and best seen on foot. In the Algarve, trails meander along cliffs and secret beaches only white storks seem to know. Madeira’s levadas, meanwhile, trickle through laurel forests before revealing sweeping Atlantic views. Walking here isn’t just a way to explore, it’s how you unlock Portugal’s hidden sides.

Expert insight: Island-hopping in the Bay of Naples

“The great advantage of walking is that you really do get to explore the true nature of these incredible places. The islands of the Bay of Naples are home to secluded beaches, picture-perfect fishing villages and beautiful views. Capri is, by far, the most famous island we visit, but there are many ways to avoid the town and leave the day trippers behind. When you go on a walk, the real island reveals itself. And it’s spectacular, with coastal paths winding their way through enigmatic Roman villas, limestone caverns and aquamarine grottoes. Ischia is altogether wilder. A volcanic island, famous for its hot springs and spas, it offers panoramic coastal trails and views – on a clear day over to the dominant cone of Vesuvius.”

Exodus Product Manager Marta Marinelli

This was my first Exodus trip and I was already excitedly researching my next trip a couple of days in. As someone with a busy job I found having everything smoothly organised very relaxing and it meant lots of care and expertise went in to ensuring each day was delightful and our time was really maximised to explore the area and enjoy ourselves. Our group truly became like a little family for a week; we had a lot of fun and I felt very supported by the kindness and warmth of everyone. The walks were spectacular and the location of the hotel is perfect for facilitating varied walks and activities. The food was a real highlight; fresh and authentic and different each night.

Naomi Adams Walking the Amalfi Coast

Walking the Island of Madeira was our first hiking tour and it was a delight! The five hikes were wonderfully varied, taking place on different parts of the island. From soaring cliffs, surf pounding jagged rocks, lush green forest and farms, charming towns – this series of walks had it all. We went in late February/early March, knowing the weather could be a bit unpredictable and it was. We got rained on, the “official” trails were closed by the government due to high winds one day, and a freak snowfall made the final hike atop Pico Arieiro impossible. But through it all, our guide Paulo proved unflappable. He rolled with the conditions, adapted, and came up with new routes that continually showcased the charm and beauty of his home island. We loved the exposure to the off-the-beaten-path small towns and local coffee shops and pubs where the locals go. Everything was quite affordable (two pints for $3.90 Euros in one neighbourhood cafe). This was less the case, though, in the capital of Funchal which has some very touristy areas with cruise ships docking. Overall, this was a relaxing, fascinating week on this hidden gem of an island.
