The hike is not expert, more intermediate. The "alpine" sections are no more difficult than the usual mountain hiking trails. The hike is easier than any gorge hike on Crete, but sturdy shoes are still a must

Great hike on the island off Elounda. There are no refreshment stops on the island. So always bring plenty of water, even in spring. Due to the terrain, you won't make much progress. It's probably sweltering in summer.

Hiking tour over the island of Kalydon near Eloundas on Crete. Interesting, varied path through former goat pastures. Lots of beautiful views of the turquoise sea. The highlight for the children was swimming at Kolokitha Beach towards the end of the tour.

This hike is about very beautiful terrain, very nice views over the mountains and the sea. Path in the mountains is suitable for experienced hikers and goes over narrow paths and many boulders. Sometimes the path is a bit hard to find. Very nice walk!

Very nice tour, no gorge this time. Depending on the starting point, 7-10 km possible. After about 1 hour, a nice place to rest on a rock plateau on the other side. 50 m detour from the path.
The beach is OK.
Afternoon tour, after we visited the Wednesday market in Agios Nikolaos in the morning.
Parking also possible at …
