Οι καλύτερες διαδρομές και πεζοπορίες στο Ψηλορείτης Δήμων Συβρίτου Κουρητών

From the gate you can observe the vultures in their nests if you have binoculars.

I would highly doubt that you can see mountain goats. They are stray domestic goats (αδέσπωτα) that cause serious damage to the landscape (and economy), a major problem in almost all of Crete.

It was closed at the end of october.

Great spot to take break and fantastic view.

The well-secured path leads through a great rock gate.

There is a great motif at the gate around midday when the sun is just above it.

The climb to Crete's highest mountain is certainly one of the highlights of a holiday on the island. The shortest and best route starts at the Mygero Refuge (an investment ruin, a shame). At the beginning the path is clearly visible (paved), later it becomes more confusing. You should plan on 5 - 6 hours for the journey there and back, there is an altitude difference of around 850 meters. Sufficient water and weatherproof clothing are a given. But the mountain is also a real eye-catcher from a distance. Before you start the climb, get weather information. A dream route with sun and little wind.

Oleander bushes can be seen in the riverbed
