Highlights
This trekking experience offers a rare opportunity to stand atop Crete's highest peak and walk in the footsteps of ancient myths. Unlike a typical mountain hike, this journey combines breathtaking natural beauty with rich cultural storytelling, as your local guide shares the legends of Zeus and the mountain's sacred past. You'll witness the raw, untouched landscapes of the Psiloritis Natural Park, a UNESCO Global Geopark, and enjoy panoramic views stretching from the Cretan seas to the distant islands. This is more than just a hike — it’s a deep connection to Crete’s wild heart, its legends, and its timeless landscapes.

Heraklion, the largest city on Crete, is a Venetian-walled port near Knossos, the Minoan palace, and the museum that holds its treasures.
Heraklion is the capital and main port of Crete, wrapped in Venetian walls and bastions of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The Koules fortress guards the old harbour mouth, and Lions Square has the Morosini Fountain, held up by four stone lions. Nikos Kazantzakis, the author of Zorba the Greek, is buried on the Martinengo bastion under a simple wooden cross.
