All in all, Corfu Trail is a long but technically easy route. With the exception of a few minor difficulties in places, mainly due to slippery ground in the rainy season, the entire route follows either dirt roads or easy, well-trodden paths.
Perhaps the main difficulty lies in tracking how the route cotinues in some unclear points, a problem easily solved with the assistance of the hiking navigation application.

Probably the most objective factor of evaluating the difficulty level of Corfu Trail is distance and elevation differences of the daily sections. The following elevation diagrams allow user to estimate elevation differences. These diagrams are interactive in Corfu Trail topoguide application, hence the user can spot the locations where the main uphills/downhills occur. At the same time, in each section the length and the algorithmically calculated hiking time are given, while an indicative difficulty evaluation is also provided, ranging from 1 (easy) to 5 (particularly difficult).

1. Kavos-Lefkimi

The first section of Corfu Trail from Kavos to Lefkimmi is 14.5 km long and it is estimated that it can be covered in 5h30-5h. In the rainy season, the section before Arkoudilas monastery can be particularly muddy, while the downhill from the monastery to the road leading to Kanoula beach will certainly be slippery, or even dangerous. Moreover, in the middle of the Kanoula beach there is an obligatory pass on the coast, at a very narrow point, which can be difficult to unpassable in case of swollen sea. At the end of the beach we meet a 10 m high steep slope, which is safe when dry but can become slippery when wet. Hiking sticks can be really useful throughout this route.
