Description

One of the best ways to explore the mainland of Crete is on foot! This nature walk takes place in Apokoronas, the Eastern province of Chania. There is something unique in this area. The nature around and the history of the region have many things to teach. The natural and historical monuments of Apokoronas are waiting for you to explore.

The tour starts from Douliana, a charming village lost into nature, walking to Almyrida on the North coast of Chania. The route through the wilderness is magnificent. There are plenty of flowers, plants and trees. There is a lot to explain about this place’s flora and fauna, and you will find amazing landscapes to take pictures and memories of. Agios Ioannis’ church that you will see during the route, covered with plants, is a beautiful, peaceful and historical place. You will always enjoy the view of the mountains in the South and the sea view in the North.

It is an easy and safe walking route. You will need only 1-1.5 hour to reach Almyrida. There you will have the chance to swim and enjoy the crystal clear water of the North coast. After that, we will drive you to Fres village to have traditional Cretan lunch at a local “kafeneio” (meze-tapas restaurant). This tour will fill your soul with energy and happiness, and you will gain many beautiful memories from these charming places!
