The night accommodation for walkers is not always available within a day’s walking, especially in Greece. You may have to take a bus or taxi to the nearest accommodation or town. But don’t hesitate to ask if someone is willing to have you stay in his/her home. This may help you, but it will also stimulate people to start a homestay or B&B. For most hotels that are mentioned only by their name Google Maps provides the information you need. For those hiking camping gear, camping is possible near virtually every village and in between. Ask in the villages.
