Stage 4 of the Corfu Trail covers 13.6 km from Paramonas to Stavros, with 667 m of ascent and 386 m of descent. The highest point is 345 m. Allow about 5 hours of walking, plus breaks.
Distance, climb and elevation come from the Outest route data. Difficulty and time are estimates from distance and climb; your pace will vary with heat, pack weight and photo stops.
Bar on the trail in Stavros, mapped as walkers' accommodation. The official planner lists only "limited accommodation" here: ask in advance, or walk down to Benitses.
Large beach hotel with pool and restaurant at the north end of Benitses, about 1.3 km below Stavros by road or path. Book on its website; the hotel also organises hikes.
Family-run self-catering studios and apartments 70 m from the beach in Benitses, about 1.1 km below Stavros. Book by email or on the website.
Self-catering studios in the centre of Benitses, 40 m from the beach and 10 m from the bus stop for Corfu Town, about 1.1 km below Stavros.
Checked online in October 2026. Places marked "listed, not confirmed" appear on a public listing (OpenStreetMap, a tour operator or a booking site) but could not be confirmed on their own website. Most places are small family-run hotels, studios and rooms, and many open only from about May to October. Lefkimmi, Paramonas, Stavros, Sokraki and Old Perithia have very few beds, so book these early; small places often want cash.
