Hiking
Above Axos, you can already see the large birds being carried high in the updraft. One or two of them are surely nesting in the magnificent rock faces surrounding the gorge below Axos.

Hiking
Several pairs are nesting quite close to the path. However, these are griffon vultures, which are quite common in Crete. They are very majestic birds with a wingspan of up to 2.80 meters.
