A circular route across the wild Akrotiri, connecting the history of the Gouverneto and Katholiko Monasteries with the cinematic Zorba's beach in Stavros.
Embrace the wild soul of the Akrotiri peninsula on a circular trail that has it all. Starting from Stavros beach, where "Zorba the Greek" left his mark, the path leads you through gorges and rugged landscapes to historic monuments like the Gouverneto Monastery and the mystical Katholiko. It's a journey of faith, history, and nature, where every step reveals a new story carved in stone and time, against the backdrop of the endless blue Cretan sea.
Author’s recommendation
Take only memories, leave only footprints. Ants and other insects or animals have not yet discovered how to consume plastic. Take all rubbish back with you.
Don’t start a fire if you feel cold. Try walking faster.
Smoking on the trail will not help in anything. Neither you, nor the risk of fire.
Local people are not a tourist sight! If you want to take a picture, kindly ask. They will certainly smile to you!
If you find a door on the trail, pass freely, and leave it as you found it.
Stay on the trail. There is a reason why for many centuries people chose to walk on them and not elsewhere.
Derived from the technical difficulty and the stamina requirements.
