Itinerary description
Starting in Delphi hike to Corycian Cave. Allow a full day for this hike to allow time for the cave and other stops. There is no food, but there is fresh water 1/2 way (waypointed with a photo). Begin on E4 trail up to water source, then turn off to the right to a dirt road. Follow road to the left and walk to Agia Triada. A bit further you will see the left turn to a trail up to the cave. The trail is narrow and step. At the cave you can enter the main, large, chamber without a light. Returning either take the same way back or take the right fork towards Kalania. I bushwhacked about 100m from the road back to the E4 to return on a slightly different route and avoid going longer. It should be possible to get to a peak to the right, but I ran out of time.

Thanks for posting this. I’ve been trying to plan this for months as I’m visiting Greece for the first time in March. And this hike is the top of my list 😀

Great trail, took us longer than written, but was totally worth it. Also, we met some angry shepherd dogs at the first water refill place. Though they seem to guard their territory and don't chase if you don't approach further.
