Routes & trails
Walks, gorges, the E4 and scenic drives
Crete is best seen slowly: on foot through a gorge, along the coast path of Sfakia, on a stage of the E4 or by car over a high plateau. Start early in summer, carry more water than you think and check how you get back from the end of a one-way walk.
