View of the Kourtaliotiko Gorge

Highlight • Viewpoint

If you walk such paths often, there is absolutely no risk. And even for a less experienced mountaineer with surefootedness, there are no problems. It is well worth it.

Church of the All-Holy Virgin Protoseptemvriani

Ancient Olive Tree of Kavousi

Highlight • Natural Monument

A lovely stop on a hike – the tree is located just above Kavousi and can be reached in about 20-30 minutes, depending on the route and walking pace.

Impressive trunk girth 😳 and an incredible age.

Beautifully situated village between mountains and sea on the Agios Nikolaos - Sitia route.

The village has many abandoned and picturesquely dilapidated houses and corners, as well as many newly built or beautifully renovated buildings.
