Starting from the quaint town of Kritinia of Cretan heritage, you journey through a trail enveloped by Aleppo pines, strawberry trees, wild sage and prickly oaks that leads to a charming pebble bay featuring a pristine blue sea. The view you get during this trek is exceptional with the small islands of Halki, Alimia and other tiny ones emerging from the Aegean’s blue expanse. This image, combined with the fresh air you experience on this path, will etch itself into your memory.
After passing through the tiny bay, begins the climb towards the castle on a path that gets narrow before widening into an area filled with vineyards and olive trees wafting unique scents, mostly from small aromatic plants scattered across the landscape.
Post the castle visit, our adventure leads us back to the village, carried along by the fragrant whiff of citrus and fruit trees.
