Τα 7 κορυφαία φυσικά μνημεία στο Ψηλορείτης Δήμων Συβρίτου Κουρητών

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

Imposing orange-red rock walls tower over this section of the path. Jackdaws breed there and provide a free flight show. From here you also have a beautiful view back into the valley.

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

Section of the tour secured with railings. Nobody who is in good shape should be afraid to go up here.

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.

The summit was part of one of the stages of the E4 long-distance hiking trail, so we climbed over the Nida plateau (approx. 1100m from there). It took quite a long time because almost everything in the landscape was the same. Nice summit, but due to the strong wind you could hardly stay for more than 10 minutes despite all the clothes we had.

Fantastic landscape. The tour from Lakkos Migeris there and back is not possible with 4 hours. At most by well-trained alpinists. The descent takes as long as the ascent through the scree on the slope. Hiking sticks are recommended for safety. I didn't make it to the top. We left too late and at the end of May, late in the afternoon, thick, wet and cold fog with visibility of 15m max. Temperature above well below 10 degrees and sharp wind. To be on the safe side, I descended again, especially since storms and rain had been announced. Try again next time
