The great mountains of western Crete.
Βουνά & κορυφές · Σφακιά
The long-distance trail across Crete.
The European long-distance path E4 crosses Crete from Kissamos in the west to Zakros in the east, marked with yellow and black signs. It passes through all the major mountain ranges, the White Mountains, Psiloritis and Dikti, and along parts of the south coast.
The Cretan section is over 500 km long and can be walked in sections. Some of the most beautiful stretches are the coastal path between Sougia and Chora Sfakion and the crossing of the White Mountains.
The west of Crete is the island at its most dramatic. Chania has the most beautiful Venetian old town on Crete, wrapped around a harbour with a lighthouse and a domed mosque. In the evening the narrow lanes of Splantzia and the old Jewish quarter fill up with tavernas and small bars. Περισσότερα για Χανιά
