The
best way to explore Crete is to walk off the beaten track, beyond the places
reached by car, follow ancient paths, explore the magnificent scents of herbs
in the canyons, climb on the tops of the highest mountains and enjoy the view
to the deep blue North Cretan and
The
E4 European Long Distance Path encompasses a large network of trails
with special cultural, natural and historical value. It is marked by the European
Ramblers Association and crosses the island from the western point (Kissamos) to the eastern one (Zakros). It crosses all major Mountain Ranges in Crete (White Mountains, Kedros, Ida Range, Dikti and Thripti), giving hikers the opportunity to explore a wide range of landscapes
of great diversity.
Apart
from the E4, there are plenty of options for majestic mapped routes. You can find helpful tips, photos, maps, videos for hiking in Eastern Crete on the local hiking's group blog
The eastern part of Crete has many of the most intresting hiking routes, including impressive canyons (Kritsas, Richti, Sarakinas, Zakrou (Dead), Mesona), plateaus (Lasithiou, Katharou, Thriptis), mountain tops with spectacular view, hikes via interesting arcaelogical sites, or you can visit on foot exotic beaches with cristal clear water.
