HIKING TOURS
The best way to really see and feel a place in a meaningful way is to walk your way through it. Hiking allows you to engage all your senses fully and understand the diverse Cretan landscape. In this setting, you’ll inhale the aroma of wild thyme, hear the subtle movements of Cretan wildlife, feel the texture of the bright White Mountains limestone, and savor the generously offered raki by locals as you pass by.
Our philosophy is to combine hiking with elements of real local life and connect with the rich history and intangible cultural heritage.
