Small group hiking between the beach and Kritinia Castle

Starting from Kritinia, a small town of Cretan origin, you descend through a path surrounded by Aleppo pines, strawberry trees, wild sage and thorny oaks, to a small pebble bay that boasts a crystalline sea. The panorama enjoyed during this descent is unique: Halki, Alimia and other small islands emerge from the blue of the Aegean and this view, together with the pure air that you breathe along this route, will remain an indelible memory. After crossing the small bay, the ascent towards the castle begins along a narrower path which then opens onto land planted with vines and olive trees and delights us with particular aromas coming above all from the small aromatic plants that surround it. After visiting the castle, our excursion takes us back to the village accompanied by scents of citrus and fruit trees
