Kato (lower) Mili and Pano (upper) Mili are the two old abandoned villages in the Mühlental.
The settlements were first mentioned in 1643 during the Venetian rule. After 1645 under Ottoman rule, the Ottomans mainly inhabited the village of Kato Mili. The approximately 30 mills on the river bed supplied the entire area of Rethymnon with flour.
In the 1960s, the residents of the Mühlental moved to Nei (Neu) Mili.

Great circular hike, depending on the Kondi in all seasons, the gorge side is definitely the more interesting side, very overgrown with cool water and shade. Unfortunately, part of the path is buried in the lower area by rocks, please do not climb over it in the hope that the path continues on the other side, it does not go. Simply shimmy along the artificial viaduct in the lower area for 100 meters and you will reach the path again. At the end of the gorge there is the Banana Tavern, keep left at the exit and do not go up into the village, reward under banana trees with cool drinks and delicious food. Have fun

along the route you will always come across smaller pools of water.

Climb behind the rocks and enjoy the quiet spot away from the other hikers.

Nice hike along the watercourse. On the way are many abandoned houses and mills. At the beginning there is a restaurant at an old mill, at the end is the Banana Tavern. From there you either have to go back or leave on a road with 400 meters of altitude difference. Or take a taxi for about 20€.

Very nice and varied hike from both the north and south sides. Also worth mentioning is the wonderful, inconspicuous Kafenion opposite the village church with delicious frappe and refreshing drinks at the northern entrance to Xiro Chorio 💚🇬🇷
