A hike starts in the village of Panagia to one of the oldest olive trees in Crete - estimated to be 3000 years old, and of course there are also a few churches to admire. The tour is not difficult, "only" 250 meters in altitude and 5 kilometers (and of course back again) - that's easy. And what's really important is that only insiders know this route.
