Country Walking with us
All our walks lead along field roads, ancient footpaths and donkey paths,
partly cross- country.
Each walk has it own character regarding scenery, views, vegetation, places of interest, coffee shop and taverna after the walk.
No special training is required, but you should be reasonable fit.
The average walking time is 4-5 hours.
English speaking guide, international athmosphere.
You need walking shoes or trainers, we recommend sunglasses and a sunhat.
Ancient inland Crete (not in July and August)
The interesting geology of the landscape, beautifull nature, the many dry-stone walls in the surroundings of Koumi and magnificient views make this a very rewarding walk.
Fossils bear witness to the ancient past when Crete lay under the sea.
A strenuous walk.

The lush and charming Mili Gorge
Views of Mount Vrisinas, more trees and greenery than one would expect on Crete, coffee break in Chromonasteri.
Downhill through the "valley of the mills", passing the almost overgrown village of Mili, we cross the riverbed several times.
An easy walk.

Venetian Towers and Olives (not in July and August)
Walk in the surroundings of Maroulas, once a Venetian fortified village.
A tour
via five different villages, with both traditional village life and new estates: quite a contrast.
Churches with frescoes, many olive groves and various sea views.
Rather up and down!
