    Tips

    December 20, 2023

    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. The southern path from the Prinos Hut is practically as long as the northern one, but the approach is much more difficult and is only recommended with a real off-road vehicle. And once you're at the top, you can also climb the neighboring peak - Agathias (also over 2400m high).

      The view alone and the all-round view are worth the climb
