Description

This journey, just a few kilometers outside of Chania, combines a wonderful natural scenery along with some of the most impressive, everlasting places of worship of Crete.

The walk offers an impressive perspective to the rock-cut cliffs and dramatic sea views, giving the opportunity to relish the diverse Cretan landscape that unravels lavishly just a short distance outside the city of Chania.
