Discover Crete’s perfect mix of adventure, tradition, and seaside relaxation with the Trekking Kritsa Gorge & Voulisma Beach experience.

Your day begins in the historic village of Kritsa, one of the largest and most picturesque in Crete, built amphitheatrically at the foot of Mount Kastellos. Known for its charming stone houses, narrow alleyways, and authentic Cretan character, Kritsa is the perfect starting point for your adventure.

From the village, you’ll follow a scenic trail into the Kritsa Gorge — a small but impressive canyon carved into the rugged landscape. As you hike, you’ll walk between towering rock walls, navigate narrow passages, and take in the area’s rich geological diversity. The route is full of hidden natural beauty, offering a true escape into Crete’s wild side.

After completing the gorge crossing, the path leads you along an ancient trail once connecting the ancient city of Lato to the port of Agios Nikolaos. This historic route brings you back to Kritsa, where you can enjoy a well-earned rest and soak up the village’s traditional charm.

In the afternoon, your adventure takes a relaxing turn with a visit to Voulisma Beach. Known for its golden sand and dazzling turquoise waters, this idyllic spot is perfect for a refreshing swim or simply basking in the Cretan sun — the ultimate reward after a morning of trekking.
