The first part of this route takes hikers from Paleochora to Temenia, following a seaside trail (E4) at first and then a trail through the gorge of Anydroi and further mountain trails.
The first day of the Archaeological route of Kantanos-Selino takes hikers from Paleochora to Temenia.
Starting from Paleochora hikers will have to follow the seaside trail that coincides with the E4 international trail and leads to the beach of Anydroi. From there, the route enters the gorge of Anydroi and goes up the mountain towards the heights of Lefka Ori. Passing by the settlement of the same name, the route continues further through the backcountry of Lefka Ori, over ridges and by small settlements until it reaches the village of Temenia, where the first part of the route ends, after almost 14 kms.
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.
