Cyclades Island Hopping

Hiking in the White Mountains of Crete

Our journey of hiking in the White Mountains of Crete will commence from the charming Cretan city of Chania, widely regarded as one of the most beautiful cities on the island. Our destination is the White Mountains, which derive their name from the shining, bleached limestone cliffs and the heavy snowfall they receive during winter.

Over the course of a week, we will traverse a network of ancient paths and shepherd trails, enjoying the breathtaking southern coastline, scaling imposing summits, and venturing into the depths of some of the island's most stunning gorges, including the legendary Gorge of Samaria.

The hike through a Cretan gorge, on a hot summer day, is an ideal excursion, with ample shade to protect us from the scorching sun, culminating in a refreshing swim as our reward at the end.

Self-guided Menalon Trail hiking tour

A perfect opportunity for a week-long hike! The tour is operated on a self guided mode from April to November and exists also on a guided mode with fixed departure dates.

The Menalon Trail is a 75 km/45 miles long mountain trail in Arcadia, in the center of Peloponnese, that unfolds through the Lousios River gorge, the western slopes of Mt. Menalo, the Valley of Mylaon River and the Northeast Gortynian Mountains. It is incorporated in the prizewinning programme “Greek Paths of Culture” of the ELLINIKI ETAIRIA – Society for the Environment and Cultural Heritage.
