To get to know the heart of Crete, you should definitely go hiking!

In south east Crete, we walk together in the beautiful mountains with breathtaking views of land and sea. Olive groves, chapels and villages turns up in the rich and varied landscape. Peace and quiet in a tranquillity where all you hear is the wind and the goat bells.


We might have different preferences. Some like to walk with hiking poles, others stop now and then to photograph and some want to immerse themselves in thoughts. We spend time in nature, take in greenery and views, enjoy the present. Both body and soul get rest and recovery, new energy and power. We walk together with room for everyone.
