This walking tour is especially suitable for adventurous hikers and, unfortunately, not for the inexperienced!

This hiking tour will take about 5 hours, so it is important that you are reasonably fit and have some hiking experience. This is one of the most exciting tours through Eastern Crete. This means it is nearby, we only need one hour to travel.

The first two and a half hours we will be hiking uphill. Afterwards, we will follow an old Minoan route. During this route you will find a lot of Cretan herbs, including thyme, sage, rosemary and oregano. The next climb is not very steep (500 meters), you will need your energy to reach the next Minoan village! From this almost hidden place you will have a magnificent view.

We will walk for another 5 kilometers on mountain paths. The atmosphere here is composed of the complete calm and quiet of nature. After we walk for a few more kilometers, we will arrive at a small mountain path in a deserted village. From this deserted village we follow a path that was used in the forties as a water supply canal. At this point you really have to be an experienced hiker and not have a fear of heights. After a short stop to eat something and admire the view, we walk a few kilometers back to the Kafenion where we first started.

We did not mention any names of villages from this tour, because this is a completely unknown tour to others. Only a few people know the whereabouts of this hike. We try to keep it this way! Be surprised by this unknown on this adventurous and exciting hiking tour.
