WHO WE ARE
Gecko Adventures offer walking holidays to those seeking fabulous walking, stunning vistas, amazing flora and fauna and an away from it all feeling.
We provide like-minded people with a precious opportunity to switch off, slow down and unwind; enjoy restorative walking and swimming, eat mouth-watering fresh food and rejuvenate mind, body and soul.
​
​We walk in the spring time (mid-April through early June) when the flowers are in full, beautiful bloom and start up again in early autumn (mid-September through end of October) when the weather (but not the gorgeous sea) has started to slightly cool.
​
The emphasis is on small manageable groups of walkers - there will never be more than eight in a group - and each week will be graded to suit fitness and ability which we will discuss with you prior to booking.
A bit about me
My name is Ben and I'm passionate about walking; and the views, freedom and nature that comes with getting off the beaten track, I'm equally passionate about the beautiful Mani, in Southern Greece, that I've been visiting since I was a young boy in 1970's. I'm lucky enough to now split my time between my family homes in Greece and in Portsmouth, UK.
​
I'm an experienced walker and hiker and have previously hiked the GR20 in Corsica, trekked in the Spanish Sierra Nevada, the hills of Tuscany, the Rockies in Canada and countless paths and trails in the UK.
​
After many years of visiting the Mani and following my epic completion of the GR20, I've rediscovered my love for walking and hiking; and over the last couple of years have had a wonderful time exploring the mountains, gorges, highways and byways of the Mani and all the peace, calm and natural beauty it has to offer. I'm very much looking forward to sharing all this with you.
