The island’s topography gives a plethora of options to visitors. The routes vary according to the season, the time available, and the weather conditions.

Whichever route you choose, you will climb high up into the majestic mountains, cross beautiful gorges, admire the rich flora and fauna of the island, and finally, if you want, you can swim in one of the most beautiful beaches of the south Crete, like Ammoudi, Plakias

Moreover, you can go for a hike in stunning gorges such as the Patsos gorge, the one of Agios Antonios, or the Kourtaliotiko gorge with its waterfalls (see below). Wherever you choose to go, the island’s unique nature unveils magnificently.
